The informativeness of consolidated and parent‐only earnings to investors: Evidence from India
Abstract We examine whether earnings from parent‐only financial statements are incrementally informative to those from consolidated financial statements.

We use an input‐oriented directional distance function and farm‐level data from 2000 to 2020. First, we find that while GHG emissions per cow increase with higher milk yields, emission intensity decreases as milk yield per cow increases.
