Finally, by tracing a firm’s accounting to the initial point of its establishment, we demonstrate that clean surplus actually requires measurement to be based on historical cost, a property that has not been well appreciated in the literature to date. 1 Illustrating How Self-Correction “Works” To illustrate this, let us compare the valuation of a firm under the original accounting system with that under a revised system. Assume that in the latter, the firm’s equity book value at date t, denoted as B^t , is arbitrarily increased by 1 from that in the original system, that is, B^t Bt þ 1.
While some researchers (see for example Bernard 1995) view this selfcorrecting ability as a desirable feature of the model, others regard it as unappealing as it renders the model devoid of any accounting content and of “any guidance or predictions about firms’ choice of accounting methods or properties of accounting standards” (Kothari 2001, p. 177). Of course, if this is true, the “irrelevance” of accounting measurements would be troubling and would undermine the efforts of the accounting profession and standard setters, who strive to achieve high-quality financial reporting.
Parameter α2 captures the effect of conservatism, with α2 > 0 if accounting is conservative (ω12 > 0) and α2 ¼ 0 if accounting is unbiased (ω12 ¼ 0). However, α2 not only depends on conservatism, but is also a function of persistence (ω11 ) and asset growth (ω22 ). This arises from the setup of the LID in Eq. 9a, b). Given operating assets at date t (OAt), growth affects operating assets at date t+1 (OAtþ1 ), which is then entered into the LID (Eq. 9a) to affect the residual income of period t + 1 via the conservatism parameter.
