On the other hand, Christensen et al (2013), reported in Panel 6.5 in relation to liquidity, argue
that:
‘[W]e show liquidity increases for voluntary IFRS adopters around the time of
the IFRS mandate, but only in those countries with concurrent enforcement
changes. This evidence is inconsistent with the notion that mandatory IFRS
adoption has had widespread comparability (or spillover) effects, as these effects
should not be confined to firms in a select few countries.’
