R&D投入反映企业的技术实力与发展潜力,我国一部分上市公司在没有强制性披露的要求下对R&D费用予以了披露,其披露行为及其动因值得深入研究。通过对可能影响R&D费用信息披露的因素进行的实证检验发现,资产规模、公司的成长性和企业是否属于高科技行业等会影响企业R&D费用信息的自愿披露。
R&D expenditure reflects the technical strength and development potentiality of a company. Under the circumstances of no compulsory disclosure requirements, some listed companies disclose R&D expenditures. The disclosure behavior and motives of these companies deserve deeply research. This paper studies the motives of R&D expenditure disclosure, through empirical test, and find that the size, the industry (if the company belongs to high-tech industry), and the growth ability of the companies will affect the voluntary disclosure of R&D expenditure.
