Asset revaluation and goodwill are both recorded only in the Philippines, and neither is
recorded in Taiwan. The other four countries allow one procedure or the other but not
both. We expect the incremental explanatory power of book value to be high in the
Philippines and low in Taiwan relative to the other five countries. However, the effect of
these accounting practices on the incremental explanatory power of book value for the
other countries is ambiguous.
The six countries also differ in other accounting practices, including capitalizing leases,
capitalizing research development costs, and applying the equity method to affiliated
firms. Firms that capitalize and use the equity method are likely to have book values that
are closer to market values than firms that do not.2 Table 3 presents a summary of our
analysis of these accounting practices.
Only Indonesia and Malaysia allow or require all three accounting procedures. The
effect of these accounting differences on incremental explanatory power is ambiguous for
the other countries. However, we expect the explanatory power of book value in Indonesia
and Malaysia to be higher than in Thailand and Taiwan.
