Mandatory Earnings Disaggregation and the Persistence and Pricing of Earnings Components

The International Journal of Accounting, 2013
We investigate whether the special item anomaly in the U.S. exists in an environment where the separation of non-recurring items from earnings is mandated. We use South African data, as the separate disclosure of specific non-recurring items has been mandatory since 2000.

Estimating the Permanent Component of Accounting Earnings Using the Unobservable Components Model: Implications for Price-Earnings Research

Journal of Accounting, Auditing & Finance, 1993
This study proposes the unobservable components (UC) model as a conceptually and statistically superior approach to modeling the stochastic properties of accounting earnings. Based on the UC model, accounting earnings are decomposed into permanent and transitory components and the earnings-return relation using these components is reexamined.
