The results show that state‐owned enterprises (SOEs), and in particular, central SOEs, are more likely to substitute accrual‐based earnings management strategies with costlier but less detectable real earnings management strategies than non‐SOEs. The results also indicate that politically connected enterprises (PCEs) are more likely to employ less detectable real earnings management strategies than non‐PCEs, so much so that PCEs’ total earnings management level is higher than that of non‐PCEs.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0810-5391","1467-629X"]},"title":"Political embeddedness and firms’ choices of earnings management strategies in China","publication":"Accounting & Finance","keyword":["Economics","Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous)","Finance","Accounting"],"status":"public","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"volume":60,"page":"4723-4755","publication_status":"published","type":"journal_article","user_id":"21810","citation":{"chicago":"Wang, Zhi, Geert Braam, Daniel Reimsbach, and Jiaxin Wang. “Political Embeddedness and Firms’ Choices of Earnings Management Strategies in China.” Accounting & Finance 60, no. 5 (2020): 4723–55. https://doi.org/10.1111/acfi.12690.","ieee":"Z.
