Some time series properties of corporate cash recovery rates*

Contemporary Accounting Research 1987 4(1), 76-88
Empirical research into corporate cash recovery rates has, in part, relied on arguments leading to the assumption that these rates are reasonably stable over time. Equivalently, the process generating firms' cash recovery rates is assumed to be mean reverting. Empirical findings of this study on the time series properties of corporate cash recovery rates failed to validate this assumption. In particular, the results indicate that the overall processes generating levels and first differences of cash recovery rates can adequately be described by a first‐order autoregressive process and a first‐order moving average, respectively. The paper discusses some implications of these results for the theoretical modeling of the internal rate of return/cash recovery rate relationship and the empirical research based thereon. Résumé. Les recherches empiriques en matière de taux de recouvrement de trésorerie des sociétés ont été fondées en partie sur une augmentation menant à l'hypothèse d'une stabilité raisonnable de ces taux dans le temps. Autrement dit, le processus générateur des taux de recouvrement de trésorerie pour les firmes est supposé de type moyenne mobile. Les résultats empiriques de cette étude sur les propriétés des séries chronologiques de taux de recouvrement de trésorerie n'ont pas permis de valider cette hypothèse. En particulier, les résultats indiquent que les processus générateurs globaux et les différences d'ordre un des taux de recouvrement de trésorerie peuvent être adéquatement décrits, respectivement par un processus autorégressif d'ordre un et un processus de moyenne mobile d'ordre un. L'article discute de quelques conséquences de ces résultats quant à la modélisation théorique de la relation entre le taux de rendement effectif et le taux de recouvrement de trésorerie, et quant à la recherche empirique fondée sur celle‐ci.

On the Association of Cash Flow Variables with Market Risk: Further Evidence.

The Accounting Review 1989 64(1), 125-136
The purpose of this study is to determine whether funds and cash flows possess incremental information beyond accrual earnings in the context of explaining market risk. The results indicate that funds and cash flow risk measures (betas) provide significant incremental explanatory power over that provided by the earnings risk measure (β) in explaining the variability in market betas. Additionally, the results reveal that an earnings β does not possess additional explanatory power beyond that provided by either funds or cash flow betas. The major implication of the results is that with respect to the explanation of market risk, the information in accrual earnings appears to be a subset of the broader set of information contained in cash flows.
