Abstract

This study examines the important issue of whether additional pieces of information about the earnings’ characteristics (their quantitative description and predicted earnings) can debias the prospect effect of the earnings’ announcement. The prospect effect bias can be mitigated by the availability of clear information and an integrated disclosure. Additional information that is included with the previous information will make the investors’ beliefs stronger  and it will debias any psychological effects.This research confirms the prospect effect’s bias that investors react more negatively when evaluating a company’s performance after a negative earnings information disclosure rather than react positively in evaluating the performance for a positive earnings information disclosure. The results also show that when additional pieces of information, such as a quantitative description and predicted earnings are added, they can mitigate the prospect effect’s bias. Additional information of predicted earnings as forward-looking oriented information has a stronger debiasing effect than that of additional information of a quantitative description as backward-looking oriented information.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide empirical support regarding the reminder effects and anchoring-adjustment in earnings announcements. This study is important to explainthe cognitive mechanism in processing the information that the consequences can affect the judgments of investors in evaluating company performance. The research of behavioralaccounting often focuses on the consideration in the framework of investment decision making mechanism based on a systematic and accurate. Prior researches have described strategic disclosure of prior-period benchmark in earnings announcement that focuses on the transitory gain or loss, which, in turn, influences investor’s judgments (Schrand & Walther 2000; Krische 2005). Using strategic reference-point theory from psychology and Hogarth & Einhorn’s (1992) belief-adjustment theory, this paper extends such research by investigating how investors behave differently to reminder effect and anchoringadjustment. The experimental results suggest that reminder effects and anchoring of information can influences investor’s judgments in evaluating of company performance.Keywords: reminder effect, anchoring-adjustment, cognitive mechanism, strategic reference-point theory, belief- adjustment theory

Abstract

Abstract: This study is aimed to test the impact of single versus multiple benchmarks earnings information disclosure strategy towards financial users’ behavior in estimating future earnings. The study is important because it links behavioral aspects between the ways of providing and using earnings information based on multiple reference point theory of psychology. Using experimental factorial mix design 2x3x2 with 58 investor and non-investor participants, the result indicates that earnings disclosure strategy of single versus multiple benchmarks influences participant's judgments. Specifically, the multiple benchmarks are more effective than a single benchmark used to estimating future earnings. This finding is consistent with some priors studies of Schrand and Walther (2000), Krische (2005),  Han and Tan (2007) and Wahyuni and Hartono (2010, 2012, 2014).
