Research

Research interests

Dr Dargenidou has been involved in various research projects in the area of market based accounting, that investigate:

  • the relation between the cost of equity capital and earnings expectations when the properties of accounting that determine earnings vary across different European jurisdictions;
  • the diversity of institutional factors across European jurisdictions as a determinant of market participants‘ accounting earnings expectations;
  • the role of disclosure in assisting market participants to form expectations of future earnings by observing the accrual content of reported earnings;
  • the demand for high quality and transparent information by market participants as a determinant of earnings quality, drawing evidence from firms that have been expanding their exposure in European markets before the IFRS implementation
  • the impact of the switch to IFRS in the European Union on the comparability of market participants‘ earnings expectations for firms in different jurisdictions;
  • the capital market effects of the interaction between insider trading and financial reporting discretion in various settings and
  • the monitoring role of institutional ownership in the banking sector.
