论文摘要：

This paper examines the association between a firm’s cash profit sharing policy and the extent of earnings management. We find that firms with cash-profit sharing program adopt more earnings management, particularly in the form of income-decreasing earnings management. Those firms tend to cater to employees’ need to take a big bath to share more cash profit in the future. Further analysis shows that such effect is more evident when the firm is R&D intensive, when the firm belongs to a high-tech industry, and when the firm belongs to a competitive industry. Our findings are robust to a variety of model specifications and endogeneity problems.
