This edited book is scheduled as volume 13 of International Financial
Review, an annual book series. The IFR publishes theme-oriented volumes on
various issues in international finance, economics, accounting and strategy.
The IFR is published by Emerald Group, the U.K.
ABOUT THE NEW VOLUME:
Companies are increasingly being challenged with becoming more transparent;
various stakeholders have called for greater corporate transparency. These
calls assume that more transparency is better and more transparency could
have lessened or deterred some of the recent global financial crises and
corporate scandals around the world. Greater transparency may offer the
promise of greater accountability, better governance, and more efficient
allocation of capital. Yet some basic questions remain unanswered, including
(but not limited to):
ˇ What is transparency and how is it measured? What are the benefits
and costs of transparency?
ˇ What mechanisms do firms use to become more or less transparent?
ˇ What are the effects of corporate governance and ownership on
transparency?
ˇ Does one view of transparency satisfy the needs of all
stakeholders?
ˇ How are the cost of capital and corporate financing related to
transparency?
ˇ What is the role of political and social connection in accounting
regulation?
ˇ What is the role of auditing or earnings management in shaping
transparency?
ˇ What is the role of communication and technology in enhancing
transparency?
ˇ Does transparency differ across countries and why?
ˇ What are the effects of globalization of financial markets,
international equity listing, or international accounting standard on
transparency?
ˇ What are the effects of culture, law, and institution on
transparency?
ˇ What are the effects of economic development, financial market
structure, and industrial organization on transparency?
ˇ What is the role of transparency in global financial crisis?
In this volume, we seek a better understanding of the causes and
consequences of innovations in transparency. We invite you to submit your
original research papers in all modalities including theoretical, empirical,
institutional or policy-oriented papers.
