The Innovation and Reporting Consequences of Financial Regulation for Young Life‐Cycle Firms

Abstract: Firm life-cycle stage reflects a firm's current strategic direction toward exploration independent of age or size. We provide evidence that young life-cycle firms are particularly vulnerable to negative innovation consequences from financial regulation but do not appear to experience any compensating financial reporting quality (FRQ) benefits. Using a generalized difference-indifferences design around Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), we document a significant reduction in both research and development (R&D) s… Show more

“…Nonetheless, R&D remains a crucial catalyst for a firm's innovation and growth. Post‐SOX, with enhanced corporate governance and board oversight, firms are expected to be more judicious in their R&D investments, particularly those in growth phases (Allen et al., 2022; Chan et al., 2015). Sales growth is chosen as a proxy for growth, as revenue surprises align closely with stock returns for high R&D companies (Kama, 2009), and the successful commercialization of R&D (Lin et al., 2006) is likely to become more critical in justifying R&D increases post‐SOX.…”
