more weight in market valuation tests compared to when
firms disclosed the anticipated liability prior to SFAS 106.
Ayers (1998) found that deferred income tax data under
SFAS 109 is incrementally value-relevant compared to the
prior standard. Park, Park, and Ro (1999) documented the
value relevance of investment accounting based on the intent
inherent in the classification of investments under SFAS
115 (held-to-maturity vs. available-for-sale).
