How not to set accounting standards: how reported CCA profits really affect a company's share prices!

Article Abstract:

The UK Economic and Social Research Council's (ESRC) research program in inflation accounting included a study to determine whether companies' reported current cost accounting (CCA) profits impact their share prices. Share returns of 208 listed companies were measured against both their unexpected historical cost accounting (HCA) profits and their unexpected CCA profits. Although share prices reacted to both kinds of profit measurements, the reaction to HCA was far greater.
