Abstract

We investigate the effects of hedge accounting usage on firms’ level of capital investment. Analyzing a set of 286 public firms in the European Union during the period 2016–2019, our findings are threefold. Firstly, we provide evidence that firms which apply hedge accounting under IFRS requirements increase their level of capital investment more than firms that do not exploit these accounting principles. Second, we also suggest that this link is mediated by the earnings volatility mitigation. Lastly, we find that such a relationship is exacerbated after the IFRS 9 implementation period, consistently with the view that the newest hedge accounting rules provided by the IASB are recognized to be more effective and more beneficial for firms, comparatively to IAS 39. These results are robust to different measures of capital investment, alternative models’ specifications, and after correcting for potential endogeneity concerns. We contribute with the first empirical study that explores the role of hedge accounting on investment behavior under different IFRS requirements. This research is valuable for standard setters and regulators to understand how their accounting requirements may affect firms’ economic decisions. From a managerial point of view, our study offers particular insights into hedge accounting mechanisms and practical implications about the role of accounting choices in real investments’ decision-making.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
