Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 會計學系碩博士班 === 101 === One stream of research discusses the relation between R&D capitalization and market reaction, while another one discusses the effect of R&D capitalization on financial performance and earnings management. This study aims to investigate whether R&D capitalization leads to over-investment in subsequent R&D. Using a sample of U.S. software listed companies over the period of 2007-2011, this study finds that R&D capitalization leads to overinvestment. Moreover, the overinvestment induced by R&D capitalization is mitigated by formal corporate governance rather than informal corporate social responsibility.
