Hierarchical Representations of Freebase Topics
No full textThe dataset contains more than 21M hierarchical relationships about ≈10M topics extracted from Freebase knowledgebase. The topics span the various categories of Freebase including Science & Technology, Arts & Entertainment, Sports, Society, Products & Services, Transportation, Time & Space, Special Interests, and Commons. The relationships describe the hierarchies of topics in terms of Types, Domains, and Categories. For example, ‘Albert Einstein’ can be found as a topic that is a sub-class of ‘Person’, belonging to the ‘People’ domain and ‘Society’ category. Another entity named as ‘Albert Einstein’ can also be found as a sub-class of ‘Book’, belonging to the ‘Books’ domain and ‘Arts & Entertainment’ category. The dataset is published in JSON and CSV formats, sample files are provided to help explore how the dataset is structured. The dataset is believed to be useful for studying the inter-related connections among topics in different domains of knowledge.

Three Essays on Conditional Accounting Conservatism
No full textThis thesis consists of three essays on issues related to conditional accounting conservatism. In the first essay, we explore how options trading influences the demand for conditional accounting conservatism. Using a large sample of US firms for the period 1997-2019, we provide evidence that options trading is negatively related to the degree of conditional conservatism. Furthermore, a difference in differences analysis provides evidence that firms reduce their level of conditional conservatism after being listed on the options market. We perform further analyses to highlight specific scenarios where an active options market leads to a lower level of conditional accounting conservatism. Overall, our findings suggest that as options trading enhances information environments and alleviates information asymmetries, it reduces the demand for conditional conservatism from users of financial statements.
The second essay explores how a peer’s bankruptcy affects financial reporting by other firms within the industry. A peer firm bankruptcy announcement raises investors’ perception of the risk of same industry firms, resulting in higher external financing costs. We argue that following a peer firm bankruptcy filing, a firm in the same industry, may exhibit a higher degree of conditional conservatism to provide more verifiable information and reassure outsiders about its operation. We find that firms use more conditional conservatism following a peer firm bankruptcy filing. Our findings survive a battery of robustness tests. To further explore how bankruptcy spillover effects of peer firms lead to more conservative reporting, we also conduct a series of cross-sectional tests.
The third essay provides a review of research on the economic consequences of conditional accounting conservatism. This survey shows that it is well documented that conditional conservatism contributes to debt contracting efficiency. The preponderance of the evidence suggests that conditional conservatism leads to positive economic consequences. However, I find some disparities in the findings of prior research. I highlight the potential sources of these disparities. Finally, I present promising future research avenues to address the disparities in the prior studies

Does options trading deter real activities manipulation?
No full textWe examine whether and how options trading activity curtails real activities manipulation. Using a large sample of U.S. firms suspected of earnings manipulation, we document that an active options trading market significantly reduces real activities manipulation. We confirm our findings by using 2SLS analyses and alternative research designs. Our findings are also robust to using alternative proxies for options trading activity. Further, we find that the deterring impact of options trading on real activities manipulation is more pronounced among firms with low institutional ownership, among firms in highly competitive industries, and among small and young firms. Overall, our findings show that an active options market discourages managers from engaging in real activities manipulation, as informed options trading helps stock prices better reflect adverse consequences of real activities manipulation. Our findings highlight the benefits of options market development in reducing value-destroying activities and thus provide policy, practice, and research implications
