主　题：Common institutional ownership and earnings management

简　介：This study examines the relation between earnings management and block ownership of same industry firms by a common set of institutional owners (common institutional ownership). We find that higher common institutional ownership is associated with less earnings management. We further show that this relation is more pronounced among firms with earnings reflecting more industry-level information and firms whose common institutional owners blockhold more same-industry firms. Additional analysis of an exogenous increase in common institutional ownership stemming from financial institution mergers yields evidence that common institutional ownership leads to less earnings management. Overall, our results are consistent with common institutional ownership having a disciplining effect on firms’ financial reporting by enhancing institutions’ monitoring efficiency.
