EARNINGS MANAGEMENT, INSTITUTIONAL SHAREHOLDING AND IDIOSYNCRATIC VOLATILITY: EVIDENCE FROM INDIA
Download This ArticleHanish Rajpal, Pawan Jain
Abstract
Existing research provide mixed evidence on the relationship between earnings management and idiosyncratic volatility. However, the effect of institutional shareholding on this relationship has not been investigated. We investigate the relationship between earnings management and idiosyncratic volatility and the effect of institutional shareholding on this relationship. Using 2SLS regression, our results suggest a positive relationship between earnings management and idiosyncratic volatility. The results, however, do not suggest that institutional shareholding has a significant effect on the relationship between earnings management and idiosyncratic volatility. The results are robust to different methods of estimating earnings management and idiosyncratic volatility.
