摘要 This study evaluates whether hypotheses of US management`s earnings forecast decisions can explain similar decisions in Taiwan. It considers the applicability of positive accounting theories across national boundaries. A match-pair design is used to test the explanatory power of the hypotheses, on two forecast-release samples, one US and one Taiwanese. Both a univariate test and a multivariate test indicate that the hypotheses are more descriptive of management`s behavior in the United States than in Taiwan. This leads to the conclusion that positive accounting theories have limited validity internationally because they are heavily dependent on the background institutions.
