Key research themes

1. How do fixed asset revaluations reflect and predict future firm performance?

This research theme investigates whether and how upward revaluations of fixed assets serve as informative signals about a firm's future operating performance, including operating income, cash flows, and stock market returns. Understanding this relationship is crucial for improving financial reporting relevance and investor decision-making, especially where asset values are subject to managerial discretion and economic uncertainty.

Key finding: The study finds robust evidence that UK firms’ upward revaluations of fixed assets are significantly positively related to subsequent changes in operating income and operating cash flows over up to three years, indicating... Read more

2. What factors influence the efficiency and productivity of fixed asset utilization in industrial and energy sectors?

This theme delves into quantitative modeling and empirical analysis to identify determinants and optimize the use of fixed assets, focusing on capital productivity. By developing economic-mathematical models and regression analyses, these studies aim to forecast capital productivity, guide investment decisions, and maximize the operational efficiency of fixed assets in various industrial contexts.

3. How does fixed asset intensity affect regulatory enforcement and firm behavior in environmental and financial governance contexts?

This theme examines the role of fixed asset intensity—representing the proportion of fixed assets relative to other firm resources—in shaping firms' susceptibility to regulatory actions and financial strategies. Fixed asset intensity influences factors such as firm mobility, regulatory enforcement stringency, capital structure decisions, and reporting practices, with implications for governance, compliance, and sustainable investment.

Key finding: The study finds that firms with higher fixed asset intensity in Jiangsu province face significantly more pollution levies and greater likelihood of punitive regulatory actions due to reduced mobility and weaker exit threats,... Read more
