AbstractWe propose the visual attention hypothesis that visuals in firm earnings announcements increase attention to the earnings news. We find that visuals in firms’ Twitter earnings announcements are associated with more retweets, consistent with greater user engagement with announcements that have visuals. This result holds for earnings tweets sent by the same firm and on the same day in firm-level and tweet-level analyses. Consistent with managerial opportunism, firms are more likely to use visuals in their earnings tweets when performance is good but less persistent. Consistent with visuals increasin g investor attention, the initial return response to earnings news is stronger and the post-announcement response is lower when visuals are used. Our evidence of a post-announcement return reversal indicates that visuals can be a double-edged sword. Furthermore, the higher earnings response coefficient from visuals is more pronounced on days with high investor distraction (when many other firms are also announcing earnings). Graphical abstract

The objective of this study is to examine whether corporate governance influence the relation between accounting conservatism and Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC). The accounting conservatism proxy used in this research is accruals obtained from differences between net income and cash flow. Sample consists of 31 manufacturing companies that listed in Indonesian Stock Exchange since 2003­2006. Hypotheses are examined by using multiple regressions. The result shows that there is a negative influence of accounting conservatism to Earnings Response Coefficient. Managerial ownership as a moderating variable did not affect the relation between accounting conservatism and Earnings Response Coefficient, but independent board of commissioner composition as a moderating variable affected the relation between accounting conservatism and Earnings Response Coefficient.

This research objective is to axamine empirically the influence of earnings management on earnings quality. The study motivated by the controversy of previous study about earnings management and earnings quality. Earnings management was measured by Discretionary Accrual and earnings quality was measured by Earnings Response Coefficient (ERC). The units were 128 (16x8) Quartal financial report in manufacturing companies listed in the Jakarta Stock Exchange, started from the year 2005 up to 2006. The data was collected using purposive sampling method. Statistical method used to test the hypotheses was multiple regressions. The result of the research showed that: the influence of earnings management on earnings quality was negative, sig 0.049. It means that the lower earnings management will be followed by higher earnings quality. This study supported the result of Fetham and Pae (2000), Nelson et al. (2000), Scott (2000), Lobo and Zhou (2001), also Teixeira (2002), Pudjiastuti (2006).

The users of financial statements require quality and relevant earnings information to be used in decision-making process. The purpose of this study is to determine the significant effect of audit opinion information that contained in the companies' annual report against the quality and relevance earnings information, which measured by Earning Response Coefficient or ERC. This research used control variables, which are beta, leverage, and PBV. The tests conducted in this study were normality test using normal probability plot, the autocorrelation test using Durbin-Watson, multicollinearity test using the value of tolerance and VIF, and heteroscedasticity test using the scatter plot graphic. The hypotheses were tested by using multiple regressions.  The results of the study showed that PBV had significant impact on ERC, and indicated that investors had not appreciated the audit opinion information disclosed by the companies in their annual reports for their investment decision. Keywords: Audit Opinion, Beta, Earnings Response Coefficient, Leverage, Price to Book Value.

ABSTRACT Prior research finds that the decline in the information content of earnings after restatement announcements is short-lived and the earnings response coefficient (ERC) bounces back after three quarters. We re-examine this issue using a more recent and comprehensive sample of restatements. We find that material restatement firms experience a significant decrease in the ERC over a prolonged period—close to three years after restatement announcements. In contrast, other restatement firms experience a decline in the ERC for only one quarter. We further find that among material restatement firms, those that are subject to more credibility concerns and those that do not take prompt actions to improve reporting credibility experience a longer drop in the ERC. Last, reconciling with prior research, we find that using a more powerful proxy for material restatements and imposing less restrictive sampling requirements help to increase the power of the tests to detect the long-run drop in the ERC. Data Availability: The data are available from the sources indicated in the text.

This research raises the issue of banking performance including Risk Profile, Good Corporate Governance, Earning and Capital (RBBR or RGEC). Profit achieved by a company is a measure of performance and is considered by investors or creditors in making decisions to make investments or to provide additional credit. The low quality of earnings will make the decision making mistakes of the users such as investors and creditors, so that the value of the company will decrease. Earnings quality will be measured by using earnings response coefficient. Low The earnings response coefficient shows that earnings are less informative or in other words less qualified for investors to make economic decisions. The purpose of this study was to examine and determine the EFFECT of the Bank's Financial Performance on the Coefficient of Earnings Response through the Investment Opportunity Set. The analysis tools used include CAR, NPL, LDR, NIM, and GCG for bank financial performance. Then MBVE for investment opportunity set and for KRL using CAR, EU and RT. The results of this study indicate that the bank's financial performance has a positive and insignificant effect on the earnings response coefficient and earnings response coefficient can be explained by the bank's financial performance of 28.5% and the remaining 71.5% is explained by other variables outside the financial performance of the bank under study. Then the bank's financial performance has a negative and significant effect on the investment opportunity set and the earnings response coefficient can be explained by the bank's financial performance of 10.1% and the remaining 89.9% is explained by other variables outside the financial performance of the bank under study. Furthermore, the investment opportunity set has a positive and significant effect on the earnings response coefficient and the earnings response coefficient can be explained by an investment opportunity set of 26.4% and the remaining 73.6% is explained by other variables outside the financial performance of the bank under study.
