This paper evaluates what we have learned about the relevance and reliability of financial and non-financial information on intangibles from the value-relevance literature. Because value-relevance studies do not easily allow judgments about the reliability of information on intangibles, and this is an issue of central interest, this paper takes a rather wide look across a range of literatures to try to piece together some indirect evidence on both relevance and reliability. The evidence from a package of value-relevance and triangulation studies suggests research and development (R&D) is generally not reliably measured and may be less relevant in some contexts than others as well (e.g. established versus growth firms). Further purchased goodwill and some non-financial measures of br...

Building on literature that suggests motives and opportunities for national versions of IFRS practice, we examine whether there are systematic differences in IFRS accounting policies between countries. Using information from the annual reports of companies in the blue chip indices of the largest five stock markets that use IFRS, we reject a null hypothesis that IFRS practice is the same across countries. For 16 accounting policy issues, we find instead significant evidence that pre-IFRS national practice continues where this is allowed within IFRS. By this, we document the existence of national patterns of accounting within IFRS. We also point out some policy implications that arise from our findings.

No poet in the English language has written so prolifically or so insightfully about Gypsies as John Clare (1793-1864). This article examines the transformation of perceptions and attitudes toward Gypsies in English literature of the Romantic period, serving to elucidate the originality of portrayals of Gypsies in the poetry and prose of John Clare, the 'peasant poet' from Northamptonshire. It proposes that Clare's connection with oral culture and folk tradition informed his unique vision and allowed the poet to recognise his Gypsy acquaintances as tradition bearers.

In general, financial markets do respond favorably to bancassurance merger announcements. The positive bidder reactions take place with no perceived changes in the risk levels of the merged firms. The market response is influenced by the financial performance of the acquirer, by whether the merger involves expansion into a country different from the bidder's home market, and by whether there appears to be evidence of bidder CEO entrenchment (even for relatively small levels of ownership). These results are consistent with the argument that the bancassurance model for financial firms as now permitted in the United States is a viable one for well-managed bidders seeking opportunities for geographic expansion. Although the results of this study cannot be considered definitive, they do have...

GFF will celebrate the re-emergence of German cinema. I have a vivid memory of when I first saw Run Lola Run in 1998. The film, which follows a young woman's race to find 100,000 deutschmarks before her boyfriend does something stupid, was a whirlwind of non-stop action - including, of course, a lot of running - driven by a heart-shredding techno soundtrack and with the orange-haired Franke Potente playing one of the most memorable heroines I'd ever seen.
