The Effects of Audit Partners on Financial Reporting: Evidence from U.S. Bank Holding Companies

This paper uses confidential data on audit engagement partner names from regulatory filings of bank holding companies (BHC) to investigate whether partners display individual style that affects the financial reporting of the BHCs. We focus on loan loss provisioning. We construct an audit partner-BHC matched panel data set that enables us to track different partners across different BHCs over time.

Assessing the condition of Japanese banks: how informative are accounting earnings?

Capital account liberalization as a signal

This paper presents a model in which a government's current capital controls policy signals future policies. Controls on capital outflows evolve in response to news on technology, contingent on government attitudes toward taxation of capital.

This prediction is consistent with the experience of several countries that have recently liberalized their capital accounts.
