Impact of the regulatory and endorsement system on content and consequences of selfpresentational behavior in management commentary of annual reports. 01/01/2007 - 31/12/2009

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of characteristics of the regulatory and endorsement system regarding narrative disclosures on form, content and effect of explanatory behavior in the annual management commentary. Contrasting different institutional environments (US, Australia, Canada, Europe), we will assess the relative impact of differences in regulatory regime on the content and value relevance of argumentation patterns and self-presentational narrative content.
