The predictive value of bank fair values [PDF]
Abstract Fair value, the value of an item in an orderly exchange, has been shown to have greater value relevance than historical cost. However, there is limited literature on the predictive ability of fair value. Our study contributes to this emerging area of research by examining the predictive ability of the SFAS 107 fair value disclosures by U.S ...
