Abstract

This study investigates whether mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) affects financial analysts' decisions to cover the firms with their earnings per share forecasts. The results suggest that mandatory adoption of IFRS attracts more security analysts to follow the firms. Where the IFRS variable records a significant positive effect on the analyst coverage variable, this result is robust with ordinary least squares and fixed-effect models based on ten years before and ten years after the adoption data.
