Abstract

This article investigates the relationship between accounting conservatism and the cost of equity capital. Based on a sample of Chinese listed enterprises on Shenzhen and Shanghai Stock Exchange from 2011 to 2015, we find that accounting conservatismgenerally exists in China's listed companies, and the higher the degree of accounting conservatism, the smaller the information risk faced by investors, and the required investment rate of return will be reduced, resulting in a lower cost of equity capital.
