The readings in this volume bridge the gap between finance and accounting by looking at diverse topics in accounting and finance and by providing interesting points of view regarding their interface. Most of the chapters concentrate on the topic of fair value accounting and on the extent to which accounting numbers mirror the financial situation of the firm. This book combines new developments in the areas of theoretical and empirical finance and accounting, and emphasizes the convergence of these two disciplines to better serve researchers, investors and the general public. The papers contained in this volume will help scholars, practitioners and investors better understand the similarities and differences between these two important fields of study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn the Relationship between Accounting and Finance:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaths to Valuation, Asset Pricing, and Practical Investing: Can Accounting and Finance Approaches Be Reconciled? \u003ci\u003e(Stephen Penman)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Risk-Return (Bowman) Paradox and Accounting Measurements \u003ci\u003e(Ivan Brick, Oded Palmon and Itzhak Venezia)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccounting Values versus Market Values and Earnings Management in Banks \u003ci\u003e(Dan Galai, Eyal Sulganik and Zvi Wiener)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAssessing Asset Values through Financial or Market Prices:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaseball and the Art of Fair Value: Do Managers or the Prediction Markets Make Better Predictions? \u003ci\u003e(Orly Sade and Emanuel Zur)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAssessing Inventory Management and Capacity Requirements Using Financial Reports \u003ci\u003e(Joshua Livnat and Stephen G Ryan)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn the National Accounting and Monetary Policy:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Balance Sheet Approach for Sovereign Debt \u003ci\u003e(Dan Galai, Yoram Landskroner, Alon Raviv and Zvi Wiener)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Trade-off between Monetary and Financial Stability: Some Lessons from the 2007–08 Crisis for Emerging Economies \u003ci\u003e(Meir Sokoler, Yoram Landskroner and Emanuel Barnea)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eIncentives in Firms and Their Effects on Decisions:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBilateral Incentive Problems and the Form of Start-Up Financing \u003ci\u003e(Stanley Baiman, Sasson Bar-Yosef and Bharat Sarath)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime to Wait–Time to Invest: The Case of Trade Order Executions by Specialists on the NYSE \u003ci\u003e(Sasson Bar-Yosef and Annalisa Prencipe)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eOn the Capital Structure of Firms:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Optimal Term Structure of Debt Maturity \u003ci\u003e(Melissa Maisch and Fernando Zapatero)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnanticipated Growth, Tobin's \u003ci\u003eQ\u003c\/i\u003e, and Leverage \u003ci\u003e(Varouj A Aivazian, Jeffrey L Callen and David S Gelb)\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e Graduates and researchers, and professionals such as analysts, CPAs and board directors.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143741391088,"sku":"9789814452151","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814452151_p0.jpg?v=1763691061","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814452151","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
