內(nèi)容簡介:
Applying the path analysis, we examine whether and how eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) in China affects the cost of equity capital. Using a one-group pre- and post-test design, we find that XBRL reduces the cost of equity capital and contributes to higher strength of direct linkage between financial reporting quality and cost of equity capital but not the indirect linkage that is mediated by information asymmetry. Our further analysis also show that XBRL adoption leads to a greater reduction in the cost of equity capital, when there is a high level of corporate governance. Our study contributes to research on XBRL and to practice by documenting how XBRL affects the cost of equity capital.
