(Insert Table 9 about here)
The adjusted R2
of the regression is 69.8% and the estimated coefficients on book value and net
income in consolidated financial statements, as well as the reconciliation adjustments from
consolidated to separate accounts under Italian GAAP are positive and statistically significant.
Conversely, both the estimated coefficients on book value and net income adjustments from Italian 15
GAAP to IFRS in separate financial statements are not significant at the conventional level11
,
indicating that investors with access to the Italian GAAP financial statements do not find valuable
additional information in the book value and net income adjustments to IFRS. Thus, findings from
regression (2) fail to provide empirical support to the third research hypothesis that IFRS provide
incremental value-relevant information beyond domestic GAAP
