Abstract

Based on the empirical evidence of Chinese listed companies, this paper examines the relationship between earnings management and market competition. The study found that the market competition has a significant effect on the positive earnings management, the stronger the market competition is, the lower the level of earnings management. The relationship between negative earnings management and the market competition is the opposite, the stronger the market competition, the higher the negative earnings management. The study also found that, for companies with a strong innovation competitiveness, market competition has a stronger governance effect on earnings management. For companies that are not firm in innovation competitiveness, market competition has contributed to earnings management.
