“…This tradeoff should be informed by judgments about the value added from additional complexity and the objectives of the paper. For example, in formulating our model, we could have endogenized the disclosure cost in a competitive industry entry and exit game (similar to Wagenhofer 1990); added noise to the manager's private information (similar to Verrecchia 1990); added an endogenous investment decision (similar to Heinle et al 2020); or assumed a normal rather than uniform distribution of firm value. Such features are not necessary to motivate a unimodal relation.…”

“…Managers tend to withhold the information of segments with relatively high abnormal segment profits when they face proprietary costs (Berger and Hann 2007). I use industry-size adjusted return on assets (I_ROA) as a measure of abnormal segment profits (Berger and Hann 2007;Heinle et al 2018). I measure I_ROA at the firm level and base the industry adjustment on the firm's primary Fama French 17 classification, and the size adjustment on the quintile of the firm within the industry.…”

“…First, they add to the literature on the factors that affect the corporate information environment (Hemmer and Labro 2008;Chen, Martin, Roychowdhury, Wang, and Billet 2018). My study identifies tax risk as an important factor that breaks down the link between IIQ and EIQ (Dichev et al 2013;Heinle et al 2018;Samuels 2020). The findings provide evidence that tax risk generates proprietary costs that limit managers' willingness to convey internal information to external market participants (Verrecchia 1983;Heinle et al 2018).…”

“…Because withholding private information from peers comes at the cost of increasing information asymmetry with investors, managers complement their concealments with additional "less proprietary" information so as not to harm price formation in the market (e.g., Barth et al, 2021, Glaeser, 2018, Glaeser and landsman, 2019, Noh et al, 2019. Heinle et al (2020) formalize this intuition by theoretically modeling the notion of "disclosure substitution." They highlight that mandatory and voluntary disclosures have separate and distinct disclosurespecific costs, such that a single uniform disclosure policy is suboptimal.…”
