Abstract
Fu, Kraft and Zhang (2012) use a hand-collected sample of firms with different interim reporting frequencies from 1951 to 1973 to test whether higher reporting frequency is associated with lower information asymmetry and a lower cost of equity capital. Their results suggest that firms with higher reporting frequency (e.g., firms reporting quarterly as opposed to annually) have lower information asymmetry and a lower cost of equity capital. In this discussion, I expand on FKZ by elaborating on their hypothesis development and research design, and providing suggestions for future research.
