CRC-TRR 266/1: Real Effects of Transparency (SP B04)


Gassen, Müller and Sellhorn investigate the impact of financial transparency on investment and product markets. They first collect field evidence, in cooperation with other projects, via surveys and interviews with standard setters, users and firms on how financial reporting generates real effects on investment and product markets. The subsequent subprojects will test the suggested mechanisms using observational data. The project will use regulatory innovations to test for real effects of transparency on diverse outcomes such as firm location choices, consumer activism, environmental policy choices, pension plans, lease contracts and incentive systems.
