主        题：Interfirm Collaboration and Financial Statement Comparability – Evidence from Supply Chains

Abstract：We study whether and how interfirm collaboration affects the comparability of financial statements. We posit that interfirm collaboration gives rise to the demand for accounting comparability, because comparability facilitates meaningful and consistent interpretation regarding the scale and distribution of collective investment and profit, thereby smoothing the collaboration process. Consistent with this prediction, we find a within-relationship increase of financial statement comparability between suppliers and customers when their relationship is prolonged. The effect concentrates on relationships in which partners actively modify their accounting estimates and is stronger when the supply-chain benefits of improving comparability are greater. Together, these findings point to the market forces behind the production of comparability.
