Main Motive

Due to inadequate savings and binding borrowing constraints, income volatility can make households in developing countries particularly susceptible to economic hardship. We examine the role of remittances in either alleviating or increasing household income volatility using Mexican household level data over the 2000 through 2008 period. We correct for reverse causality and endogeneity and find that while income smoothing does not appear to be the main motive for sending remittances in a non-negligible share of households, remittances do indeed smooth household income on average. Other variables surrounding income volatility are also considered and evaluated.

The Stability

Loan loss provisions in banks plays a vital role in maintaining the stability and health of banks, as well as fulfilling the function of banks in channeling public funds. This study aims to determine the effect of income smoothing and the behavior of procyclicality against reserves of credit losses losses, as well as the role of adoption of IAS 39 in PSAK 55 in moderating the influence of these two variables. The object of this study are conventional commercial banks that are listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange within the research period of 2008-2017. By using purposive sampling method, I obtained 20 bank samples and 196 observations. The hypotheses in this research are tested using multiple regression analysis. This study shows that income smoothing has a positive influence on loan loss provisions, whereas procyclicality and IAS 39 adoption in PSAK 55 do not affect loan loss provisions significantly. Meanwhile, IAS 39 adoption in PSAK 55 weakens the positive influence of income smoothing, however it cannot moderate the influence of procyclicality on loan loss provisions.

Exchange Hypothesis

ABSTRACT This study aims to examine and analyze empirically the influence of the role of the board of commissioners, and audit committee, corporate ownership structure on income smoothing practices using the Eckel index, the influence of the role of the board of commissioners and audit committee is measured using the checklist score based on the characteristics of independence, activity, number of members and competence. The ownership structure is measured by the percentage of ownership. Control variables are entered into the model to neutralize the influence of unnecessary external variables. The sample is 135 manufacturing firm years listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Hypothesis testing is done by logistic regression test. The test results show that the audit committee has a higher probability of practicing income smoothing, while the board of commissioners and ownership structure do not affect the income smoothing practice. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji dan menganalisis secara empiris pengaruh peran dewan komisaris, dan komite audit, struktur kepemilikan perusahaan terhadap praktik perataan laba dengan menggunakan indeks Eckel, pengaruh peran dewan komisaris dan komite audit diukur mengunakan score checklist berdasarkan karakteristik independensi, aktivitas, jumlah anggota dan kompetensi, sedangkan struktur kepemilikan diukur dengan persentasi jumlah kepemilikannya dengan menggunakan variabel kontrol untuk menetralisir pengaruh variabel-variabel luar yang tidak perlu. Sampel adalah 135 data tahun perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia. Pengujian dilakukan dengan uji regresi logistik. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa komite audit memiliki probabilitas lebih tinggi untuk melakukan praktik perataan laba, sedangkan dewan komisaris dan struktur kepemilikan tidak berpengaruh terhadap praktik perataan laba.

Ifrs Adoption

This research approaches the influence of smoothing on persistence, two time-series properties of the same earnings stream, considering the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), in Brazil. This influence is interesting from the possibility of the disclosure to inform stability to influence the information quality for valuation. The objective was to investigate whether the IFRS adoption modified the smoothing-persistence relation. We inserted dummies in autoregressive models, to identify the influence of smoothing on persistence regarding different accounting environments. The findings show that (i) the IFRS adoption increased the quality of earnings; (ii) the IFRS shifted the role of smoothing, that previously increased and then decreased the persistence; and (iii) the smoothing suppressed the benefits for information quality brought by IFRS adoption. We conclude that IFRS increased the informational level of earnings, evidencing that interferences to mitigate impacts on reported income ceased to increase and started to decrease its usefulness.
