This paper models security price reaction to dividend cut announcements in the presence of informed traders and transaction costs. A transaction costs barrier prevents the attainment of a full information equilibrium price prior to the announcement of the cut. An empirical study of transaction costs and price reaction for both common stock and call options indicates that transaction costs may constitute a significant portion of security price reactions to cut announcements. Interestingly, the results of this interpretation allow for the simultaneous presence of dividend signaling and an informed subset of investors.

This paper examines the value-relevance of primary accounting information and the size of earnings management concurrently for high-tech versus low-tech firms. Specifically, the results reveal that earnings and changes in earnings of high-tech firms reflect lower levels of security price reactions and associations than those of low-tech firms. In addition, consistent with evidence from prior research, greater levels of earnings management, measured by modified Jones and performance-matched discretionary accruals (proxies for earnings management), exist for high-tech firms vis-à-vis low-tech firms over the sample period. More importantly, this paper also documents that the association between cumulative adjusted returns and key financial variables, including earnings, changes in earnings, sales, and changes in sales, remains weaker for high-tech firms than for low-tech firms even after levels of earnings management have been controlled for.

This paper examines security price reactions to the early adoption of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 52. Abnormal returns of a group of multinational enterprises that adopted the standard as of December 31, 1981, were compared with the abnormal returns of a control group of multinationals that postponed adoption. Differences between the two groups began two weeks prior to year-end and continued for five months. This raises questions about both market efficiency and investors' abilities to distinguish between economic changes and accounting changes.
