Abstract: The application of new accounting standards is one of the most important accounting reforms. What it brings to capital market is a main concern to accounting standard setters and users. For the first time, Chinese A-share listed companies are used to examine the capital market consequences of the accounting standards reform. Empirical evidence shows that the accounting standards reform significantly improves stock liquidity, reduces the cost of equity capital, and increases firm value.
