摘要
Do gambling preferences affect earnings management in a corporate context? We examine this potential link and find a positive and significant association between local gambling culture, as proxied by faith and firm-level earnings management. The results are robust to potential endo-geneity tested through relocation of corporate headquarters and change regressions. We also show that the impact of local gambling preferences on earnings management is stronger when firms are more risk-taking as proxied by higher earnings volatility. Further, this positive associ-ation between gambling preferences and earnings management is mitigated by closer monitoring through institutional investors and takeover threats.
