Explaining Accrual Anomaly Using Ohlson Method in Tehran Stock Exchange

Authors

Abstract:

One of the anomalies of the capital market is accrual anomaly. This anomaly refers to the negative relationship between returns and accruals. In the case of accrual anomaly, two behavioral and rational expectations have been raised. The main purpose of this study is to explain accrual anomaly using a new approach to distinguish an anomaly interpretation of risk interpretation. For this purpose, hypotheses were formulated and two logistic regressions were used to test the hypotheses. In this regard, the data of 120 companies from selected companies in the Tehran Stock Exchange for the years 2009 to 2016 have been selected. The results of the study show that low accruals increase the likelihood of obtaining high returns. In other words, the results of this research are contrary to the theory that accruals reflects risk, but supports the hypothesis that accrual anomalies is indeed an anomaly.
