Book Description
In the municipal bond market, announcements of changes in general obligation bond ratings by the rating agencies are typically made concurrently with announcements of new bond issues. Hence, prior research on the information content of municipal bond rating change announcements is subject to the possible confounding effects of concurrent announcements of new bond issues. Jantscher ( 1970) concluded that bonds sell at prices that reflect rating changes prior to the actual change announcement. Ingram et al. (1983), on the other hand, report that municipal bond prices respond contemporaneously to rating change announcements, i.e., that the market is not able to anticipate rating revisions. However, since Ingram et al. (1983) did not control for the potential information effects of concurrent new issues, their results could be misleading, whereas Jantscher only examined new issues. This paper examines the effect of rating change announcements on municipal seasoned bond prices after controlling for the potentially confounding effects of new bond issues.

The Effect of New Issue Accounting Information on Seasoned Municipal Bond Prices

Book Description
Prior studies have shown that seasoned municipal bond prices exhibit a marked increase in variability during the period of new bond issues by the same municipality. Those studies did not attempt, however, to determine whether accounting information was part of the total information being assimilated into the seasoned bond prices. This issue is of substantial policy interest given the SEC's recent rule barring dealers from underwriting new issues unless the issuer agrees to provide continuing disclosure to investors. The SEC acted following growing concern about poor disclosure in the municipal bond secondary market. This study provides evidence that accounting measures believed to be important to bond investors are significantly associated with returns on the seasoned bonds of infrequent issuers during a new issue but not during two control nonevent periods. No associations were found for frequent issuers.

Research in Governmental and Nonprofit Accounting
Author: P A Copley P a
Publisher: JAI Press
ISBN: 9780762301690
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
The purpose of Research in Governmental and Nonprofit Accounting is to stimulate and report high-quality research on a wide range of governmental and nonprofit accounting issues. A number of papers appearing in Volume 10 differ from much of our existing empirical work. The Bento and White and Copley and Seay studies use time-series data over relatively long intervals. In the case of the Sneed and Sneed and Elder, Kattelus, and Douthett studies, the authors use methodologies which have not been employed in previous studies in either the public or private sector. To the extent that these methodologies permit investigation of previously unexplored issues, the papers will be of interest to researchers outside of the governmental and nonprofit area. Governmental and nonprofit accounting represents an undeveloped research area which would benefit from rigorous examination. The government and not-for-profit sectors are also becoming increasingly attractive research areas. There are new standards of reporting for not-for-profit entities and a proposal for a dramatic change in state and local government financial statements. Change is always an opportunity for new research. As evidenced by the Forgione chapter, data exists and is becoming increasingly available.
