초록

본 연구는 동일한 시장정보에 대하여 이익과 손실이라는 회계정보의 특성차이에 따라 회계이익에 반영되는 민감도가 차별적인지를 검증하였다. 이를 위해 Basu의 조건부 보수주의 측정치 및 Ball and Shivakumar의 보수주의 측정치를 활용하여 2012년부터 2020년까지 유가증권시장 및 코스닥시장에 상장된 비금융 상장기업 11,462개의 기업-연도별 자료를 분석대상으로 시장정보와 회계정보의 조합에 따라 회계이익 민감도를 분석하였다. 연구결과 경제적 이익에 대하여 이익기업과 손실기업 모두 지연 인식하는 것으로 나타난 반면, 경제적 손실에 대하여 손실기업은 신속하게 인식하고, 이익기업은 지연 인식하는 경향이 있음을 확인하였다. 이익기업과 비교하여 손실기업은 경제적 이익을 지연 인식하는 반면, 경제적 손실은 조기 인식함으로써 더욱 엄격한 보수주의가 적용되는 것을 확인하였다. 손실기업은 시장정보에 민감하게 반응하는 반면, 이익기업은 시장정보에 민감하게 반응하지 않음을 검증함으로써 시장정보와 회계정보의 결합효과와 비대칭적 적시성 간의 인과성에 대한 실증자료를 제공하고 있다.

This study investigates the sensitivity reflected in the accounting earnings differs according to the difference in the characteristics of accounting information such as profit and loss for the same market information. For this, market information and accounting data were analyzed for 11,462 non-financial listed companies listed on the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets from 2012 to 2020 by using Basu's measurement of conditional conservatism and Ball and Shivakumar's measurement of conservatism. Accounting earnings sensitivity was analyzed according to the combination of information. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that both earnings and losses corporates recognize losses with delay, while losses are recognized quickly by loss corporates and delayed recognition by earnings companies. It was confirmed that more strict conservatism was applied to the losses corporates compared to the earnings corporates by delaying the recognition of earnings while the early recognition of the losses. It provides empirical data on the causality between the asymmetric timeliness and the combined effect of market information and accounting information by verifying that the losses corporates responds sensitively to market information while the earnings corporates does not react sensitively to the market information.
