Are 20-F reconciliations between IAS and US-GAAP value-relevant? A discussion

Abstract

Harris and Muller (1998)present some interesting evidence on the market valuation of accounting numbers under IAS and US-GAAP. I view this evidence as a first step in contributing to the debate on whether foreign firms following IAS should be allowed to list in the US without providing 20-F reconciliations. In my discussion, I evaluate the contribution and limitations of the study and suggest some extensions.
