Private earnings guidance and its implications for disclosure regulation
Article Abstract:
A new measure of private earnings is developed to answer : (1) Why did some firms provide private earnings guidance to analysts before Regualtion Fair Disclosure? (2) How did exogenous shock of Regulation Fair Disclosure affect these firms' disclosure policies? (3) What are the economic consequences of this disclosure regulation? The study identifies the firms most affected by the Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD) and uses theory to forecast how and why these frims vary in terms of the way they change their disclosure policies in response to Reg FD.
