The findings of Chen et al (2013) on improved investment efficiency, reported in Panel 7.3,
imply increased comparability following mandatory IFRS adoption. And research reported
later in relation to accounting-based performance assessment also seems to imply increased
international comparability following mandatory IFRS adoption; see Wu and Zhang (2010) in
relation to CEO turnover, reported in Panel 9.5, and Ozkan et al (2012) in relation to executive
pay, reported in Panel 9.6.
