▼ This study examines four influences on earnings conservatism of financial reporting in Malaysia. The study employs a sample of 3,126 firm-year observations of Malaysian listed companies over the period 2003 to 2008 and measures conservatism by the asymmetric timeliness of earnings measure due to Basu (1997). First, the study assesses the degree of earnings conservatism in reporting during the period following the institutional reforms which started after the 1997 Asian financial crisis. The results suggest that conservatism has increased with the reforms which contrasts with the findings of Ball et al. (2003) who find no evidence of earnings conservatism in Malaysia. Second, this study investigates the effect of the adoption of IFRS on the level of earnings conservatism. The results show no systematic difference in the level of earnings conservatism for the short period of one to two years before and after the adoption, suggesting that conservatism may not be specific to any particular set of accounting standards. Third, this study examines the effect of ownership structure on earnings conservatism. Reporting by family firms and widely-held firms exhibits earnings conservatism, but this is not the case for state-controlled firms. The analysis also shows no significant difference between the levels of earnings conservatism for family firms and widely-held firms. Additional tests show that family firms that are strategically controlled by a family, that is, where a member of the controlling family acts as CEO and chairman of the corporate board, report significantly higher earnings conservatism than other family firms. Finally, the study examines the link between corporate governance and earnings conservatism. Employing a comprehensive set of corporate governance variables, this study does not find any evidence to link corporate governance and earnings conservatism. This result is contrary to the evidence from developed markets, such as the United States and the United Kingdom, where firms with good governance are more timely in recognising bad news. This raises the possibility that the different ownership structures in Malaysia make corporate governance reforms less important. However, this suggestion is subject to environmental and cultural issues that have not been addressed in this study. Advisors/Committee Members: van Zijl, Tony, Dunstan, Keitha.

▼ We all have an intuitive grasp of the concept of evidence. Evidence makes beliefs reasonable, justifies jury verdicts, and helps resolve our disagreements. Yet getting clear about what evidence is is surprisingly difficult. Among other possibilities, evidence might consist in physical objects like a candlestick found at the crime scene, propositions like ‘a candlestick was found at the crime scene,’ or experiences like the experience of witnessing a candlestick at the crime scene. This dissertation is a defense of the latter view. Evidence, we will argue, consists in experiences or mental states called ‘seeming states.’ We begin with a look at why the logical positivists came to abandon the experiential or “phenomenal” conception of evidence and adopted what I call “the courtroom conception.” Despite its appeal, we argue that this latter view is too objective; it has trouble playing the role of subjective reasons-provider. Being more subjective, the phenomenal conception deserves another look. However, many have thought that the phenomenal conception itself is unable to fulfill other important roles of evidence. In chapter two we dispute this, arguing that the phenomenal conception can play all four of the chief roles of evidence. Examining the religious epistemology of Alvin Plantinga in chapter three we come to see that the phenomenal conception, while attractive, is in danger of being too subjective. If the phenomenal conception of evidence is to be tenable, it must be offered in conjunction with a conservative epistemic principle which tethers together experiences with the beliefs they evidence in an epistemically appropriate manner. Hence in chapter four we consider a number of conservative epistemic principles and argue for the superiority of one in particular. But these principles have themselves been subject to criticism. For this reason, in chapter five we close by responding to a recent and pressing challenge to conservative principles in epistemology (Michael Bergmann’s dilemma for internalism) which might prevent their deployment alongside the phenomenal conception. If our arguments are correct, the phenomenal conception of evidence is still an attractive account of evidence today. Advisors/Committee Members: Dougherty, Trent (advisor).

▼ This rhetorical analysis of a contemporary and historical social movement, American conservatism, through a prominent intellectual figure, Russell Kirk, begins with a description of the author's work. Ideologies, arguments, and sentiments are considered as implicit rhetoric, where social relations are defined by persuasion, ideas, historical appeal, persona, and various invitations to shared assumptions. First, a descriptive historical context is the foundation to explore the beliefs, communicative strategies, and internal tensions of the conservative movement through the development of various identities and communities during its rise as a formidable political power. Second, an analysis of the author and the author's texts clarifies argumentative and stylistic choices, providing a framework for his communicative choices. The thesis of this discussion is that the discourses implicit and explicit in the author's writing and conduct of life were imaginative and literary products of what he termed "moral imagination." How this imagination developed, and its impact upon his persuasion, was a unique approach not only to an emergent intellectual tradition but also to the disciplines of history, fiction, policy, and audience. This work argues there were two components to Kirk's rhetoric of moral imagination. First, his choosing of historical subjects, in biographical sketch and literary content, was an indication of his own interest in rhetorical efficacy. Second, he attempted to live out the sort of life he claimed to value. I argue he taught observers by an ethos, an endeavor to live a rhetorical demonstration of what he genuinely believed was good. As demonstrated by what many who knew Kirk identified as an inner strength of character and conduct, his rhetorical behavior was motivated by a love for and a curiosity toward wonder and mystery. By an imaginative reading of history, his exemplars of more properly ordered sentiments of a moral order sought to build communities of associational, relational persons that found identity in relation to other persons. His ambition was to explore and communicate what it meant to be human - in limitation, in promise, and in the traditions and customs that provide a framework for "human" in a culture.

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore what exactly bound post-Second World War American conservatives together. Since modern conservatism's recent birth in the United States in the last half century or more, many historians have claimed that both anti-communism and capitalism kept conservatives working in cooperation. My contention was that the intellectual founder of postwar conservatism, Russell Kirk, made imagination, and not anti-communism or capitalism, the thrust behind that movement in his seminal work The Conservative Mind. In The Conservative Mind, published in 1953, Russell Kirk created a conservative genealogy that began with English parliamentarian Edmund Burke. Using Burke and his dislike for the modern revolutionary spirit, Kirk uncovered a supposedly conservative seed that began in late eighteenth-century England, and traced it through various interlocutors into the United States that culminated in the writings of American expatriate poet T.S. Eliot. What Kirk really did was to create a counter-narrative to the American liberal tradition that usually began with the French Revolution and revolutionary figures such as English-American revolutionary Thomas Paine. One of my goals was to demystify the fusionist thesis, which states that conservatism is a monolithic entity of shared qualities. I demonstrated that major differences existed from conservatism's postwar origins in 1953. I do this by using the concept of textual communities. A textual community is a group of people led by a privileged interpreter—someone such as Russell Kirk—who translates a text, for example Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, for followers. What happens in a textual community is that the privileged interpreter explains to followers how to read a text and then forms boundaries around a particular rendering of a book. I argue that conservatism was full of these textual communities and privileged interpreters. Therefore, in consecutive chapters, I look at the careers of Russell Kirk, John Lukacs, Christopher Lasch, and Paul Gottfried to demonstrate how this concept fleshed out from 1953 and well into the first decade of the new millennium.

▼ This thesis is presented by Dogancan Özsel to the University of Manchester, Faculty of Humanities, School of Social Sciences, division of Politics for the degree of Doctor of Social Sciences in 2011.The thesis focuses on the conservative canon and analyses the validity of exceptionalist claims of conservative thinking through a deconstructive reading of conservatism. The comparison of classical and radical conservatisms provides the grounds for this analysis.After the introductory chapter, the second chapter of this thesis focuses on the general characteristics of the conservative ideology. It consists of three sub-sections. The first of these presents the characteristics of classical conservatism, while the second turns to consider radical conservatism. Then, in the third sub-section, a discussion of the similarities and differences between these two conservatisms leads to a proposed definition of a core of the conservative canon. Here, it is argued that the epistemological and ontological imperfection of individuals can be regarded as the definitive core, or as the precept which the justification of conservative policies relies upon.The third chapter then focuses on the views of a number of significant figures in the development of political thought on ideology, which is used by these thinkers as a critical tool. A narrative of the historical developments in the analyses of ideology and ideologies is presented in this chapter. In the last part of the chapter, Derridian thinking is introduced. The fourth chapter problematises conservative exceptionalism, or the belief that there is a fundamental difference between conservatism and other ideologies. This chapter is founded upon the analyses of the previous two chapters, using the Derridian reading and referring to the characteristics and commonalities of the conservative canon presented. In this chapter, radicalism is argued to be a persistent theme in conservative thinking, and conservatism is claimed to be founded upon its impossibility.

▼ Abstract One of the major features of financial reporting is conservatism. Accounting conservatism is traditionally defined by the adage “anticipate no profit, but anticipate all losses.” Accounting conservatism is manifested in two general but distinct ways. First, conservatism can be unconditional, meaning that the book value of net assets is understated due to predetermined accounting practices (e.g. immediate expensing of research and development expenditures as incurred). Second, conservatism can be conditional, meaning that the book value of assets is written down under sufficiently adverse circumstances, but not up under favorable circumstances (e.g. goodwill impairment rules). This dissertation focuses only on conditional conservatism. The purpose of this dissertation is to increase our understanding of conditional conservatism through three inter-related essays. These essays seek to answer the following research questions: (1) Are standard measures of conditional conservatism affected by the asymmetry in cash flows? (2) How does “bad news” contribute to the persistence of accruals and cash flows? (3) Do firms manage fair value based goodwill write-offs under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142)? (4) What are the economic consequences of SFAS 142 goodwill write-offs? Collectively, the empirical results of this dissertation further our understanding of the determinants and implications of conditional conservatism. The first essay demonstrates that the asymmetry in cash flows biases standard measures of conditional conservatism. The second and third essays are one of the first to assess conservatism using an individual accrual account, namely, SFAS 142 goodwill write-offs. The second essay examines the reliability of goodwill write-offs, while the third essay provides evidence on the economic consequences of goodwill write-offs. The findings of these two essays are important for the debate on whether fair value measurements in financial statements are appropriate.

Filozofija - Moderna filozofija / Philosophy - Modern philosophy

Moglo bi se reći da je prosvetiteljstvo (prosvećenost), već od svojih modernih početaka pa sve do savremenih rasprava o njegovom značaju, u hroničnoj nedoumici oko vlastitog odreĎenja i razumevanja. Namera ovog rada je da, pre svega, rasvetli podležeće i produktivne aspekte upotrebe tog naizgled samorazumljivog, a često do nerazabirljivosti višesmislenog pojma. To će se postići detekcijom smeštanja, izmeštanja i premeštanja težišta njegovog značenja i dejstva kod različitih autora koji su ga tematizovali od osamnaestog veka do danas. Kantova definicija prosvećenosti iz njegovog članka „Odgovor na pitanje: šta je prosvećenost?“ poslužiće pritom kao osnovni talon na kojem će se iskušavati vizije prosvetiteljstva. Čini se da se ona pokazala onom nezaobilaznom instancom s obzorom na koju se – priznanjem njene neprolazne merodavnosti, preadaptacijom ili osporavanjem – i dalje artikulišu ili makar prikladno prireĎuju i od nje drugačije koncepcije prosvetiteljstva. Pošto se u uvodnom delu rada zadržimo na dilemama odreĎenja sadržaja termina „prosvetiteljstvo“, drugi deo bi se posvetio izlaganju osnovnih pojmova, slika i metafora Kantovog razumevanja prosvećenosti i ukazivanju na njihov prijem i preradu. Središnji deo rada bi se sastojao iz tri osnovna odeljka. U prvom bi se izložile reakcije predstavnika onog konkurentskog, najšire shvaćeno „romantičkog“ programa emancipacije, koji se nekada činio radikalizacijom a nekada napuštanjem prosvetiteljskih ideala individualne slobode, autonomije i dostojanstva. Drugi odreljak bi se pozabavio konzervativnim osporavanjem i „kontekstualističkom“ kritikom prosvetiteljskog „projekta“, a treći njegovim klasičnim i revidiranim odbranama. U završnom delu rada izložiće se anatomija recentnih odbacivanja „ideologije“ prosvetiteljstva i njegove apologije na tragu komunikativno preorijentisanog izvornog programa. Verujemo da se ovakvim predstavljanjem ne samo punktiraju tačke spora koje obeležavaju nastupanje istorijske formacije filozofije prosvetiteljstva, već se ukazuje i na produktivnost novih konceptualizacija i obrada ideja prosvećenosti s obzirom na aktuelne izazove. Već preglednost takvog mapiranja bi se mogla smatrati dovoljnim rezultatom rasprave ali bi se, i preko toga, simptomatski signalizirala uvek iznova intonirana presudnost onih odgovora na pitanje o prosvećenosti koji već više od dva veka orijentišu i obrazuju diskurzivne i političke strategije moderne. Autor sugeriše i celinom rada nastoji da ilustruje uputnost jednog minimalnog i negativnog poimanja prosvetiteljstva koje bi u najvećoj meri poštovalo širinu hermeneutičkog zahteva njegovog istorijskog razumevanja i istovremeno omogućilo produktivno promišljanje aporija njegovog ovovremenog reinstaliranja.

▼ A consequence of accruals anomaly is the ability to make significant abnormal returns by using information about the components of accounting earnings – accruals and cash flows. Surprisingly, these abnormal returns from the mispricing of stocks due to accruals are still found by accounting and finance researchers even though the accruals anomaly was initially identified in 1996. The prominent reason for the accruals anomaly is that the persistence of accruals in predicting future earnings is misinterpreted by investors. Sloan (1996) found that stock prices do not instantaneously capture the differential persistence of accruals and cash flows. In other words, investors tend to overprice accruals and under price cash flows when developing earnings expectations. As a result, high accrual firms earn negative abnormal returns and low accrual firms earn positive abnormal returns in the future when accruals turn out to be less persistent than cash flows. This study examines how accounting conservatism affects accrual persistence and, in turn, the ability to earn abnormal returns. Conservative accounting practice results from recognizing losses in a timely manner and reporting lower book values. Relying on contracting theory, I split conservatism into contracting, litigation, regulation, and taxation explanations (Watts, 2003). Specifically, I investigate: (1) How is the persistence of different magnitudes of accruals affected by overall degree of conservatism and each of the conservatism explanations? (2) What effect does the overall degree of conservatism and each of the conservatism explanations have on the accruals anomaly? Consistent with expectations, the findings show that accounting conservatism increases the persistence of accruals in high accrual firms. This increase in persistence is also supported by conservatism explained by contracting and litigation. Additionally, the increased persistence from overall degree of conservatism is shown to lower accrual anomaly of high conservatism and high accrual firms. These results are further supported by the market efficiency tests using the Mishkin (1983) model. The dissertation contributes to the literature by revealing the relationship between conservatism, accruals anomaly, and security returns, which has not been documented before at the firm-level. These findings should have broad implications for accounting standards setters and investors. The FASB has recently expressed concerns about conservatism’s lack of neutrality. This study lends support for retaining accounting conservatism in financial reporting by demonstrating that conservatism increases the persistence of accruals and reduces future negative abnormal returns of high accrual firms. The latter result indicates that greater conservatism could potentially reduce the accruals anomaly from high accrual firms. Advisors/Committee Members: Alam, Pervaiz (Committee Chair).

▼ This work seeks to recover the critical spirit of conservatism and re-emphasize its goal of stability and resilience in society. I will argue that we should strive to view ourselves as deeply dependent and persistently vulnerable beings rather than free, equal, and rational individuals. An understanding of ourselves as embodied and interconnected patternings-in-the-world – res ecologia – will allow us to better recognize a diffuse violence at work in the modern world. I consider the nature of causation and suggest that the internal stability of res ecologia, when disrupted, should be a primary concern when considering the nature of violence and domination. I then invite us to understand the violence and domination arising in modern liberal societies – protocolic modulations – as abstract standardization that ensures efficient synchronization between individuated or atomized actors. Further, I suggest that the rapid modulations of this kind of protocolic domination disrupt the structural causation within and between res ecologia. In chapter five, I begin to show how this kind of violence and domination is manifest in and through the tradition of liberalism by tracing out a shared, underlying dualistic logic that simultaneously individuates and totalizes. In chapter six, I turn to the role of reason in creating freedom and legitimizing violence. Reason is seen to be contributing to both freedom and domination depending upon whether or not it creates resilience within society that resists standardizations. In chapter seven, I argue that the only way to effectively counter the excessive violence within the dualistic logic of liberalism is to cultivate an ethic of mutual support and restraint that invests society with stability and resilience. Finally, I conclude by contending that a resilient society requires intermediate structures and civil enterprises to instill tradition and reciprocal responsibilities in interdependent familial, socio-economic, and religious life.

▼ Deemed an issue of the ideological left, global warming is a contentious issue in today’s political landscape. In 2006, environmental documentary An Inconvenient Truth, narrated by former vice-president Al Gore, was released. In it, Gore admonishes human behaviors that he argues contribute to global warming through unchecked emissions practices, placing blame for these behaviors on personal and political ethics of self-interest. I argue that this invokes values of individualist conservatism, or a worldview driven by personal advancement and acquisitions. At the same time, I argue that Gore reflects and reinforces an ethic of morality and adherence to tradition, which correspond with a worldview of traditionalist conservatism. Thus, he drives a wedge between the two different strands of conservatives, encouraging traditionalists to admonish their individualist conservative brethren. The result is a move toward transcendence of global warming from the fray of political contention to a higher moral order, and an issue of broader, human concern. In this dissertation, I examine these ideological dynamics surrounding global warming in two essential sites. First, I conduct a textual analysis of An Inconvenient Truth to identify its dominant themes, both explicit and implicit. This is followed by a two-step analysis of the conservative press. I first conduct a content analysis of global warming coverage in the conservative press. In this analysis, the themes identified in the film have become variables in the content analysis. I then conduct a textual analysis of religious conservative periodical Christianity Today to ascertain any reconstruction of global warming within this Christian culture after the film. Since news media both reflect and shape public opinion, we can gain much insight to conservative culture by examining these discourses. In both news media analyses, I aim to ascertain whether and to what extent the themes of An Inconvenient Truth have penetrated these discourses, and hence the conservative culture(s) they serve. Findings suggest that indeed, the themes of An Inconvenient Truth made their way into the conservative discourse in significant ways. This research has important implications for news media dynamics, information processing, conservative ideological dynamics, and the (re)construction of issues with a political identity.

▼ This thesis seeks to explain the reasons behind Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's critical response to the French Revolution, and to identify his broader political views. It casts Goethe as a reform-minded conservative, who strove to advance civilisation and law-abiding liberty, and deplored tyranny, whether of the few or of the many. He deemed the Revolution politically and socially destructive, as it countered Enlightenment values of reason, tolerance, independent thought, and self-cultivation. While acknowledging the faults of the traditional ruling elite of the monarchy and aristocracy, Goethe also recognised the inherently flawed nature of human beings. This led him to support modest changes to redress specific grievances, rather than to overturn an entire political system in the utopian hope of realising a vice-ridden 'brotherhood of Man'. The fictional works indicate an author who favoured clearly definable freedoms over an abstract 'universal' freedom, who believed that BÃ1⁄4rger should develop their intellect and find an occupation best suited to their personal attributes, and that the most temperate and politically astute among them should influence government by co-operating with aristocrats. Goethe also portrays the fall of the ancien régime as largely self-inflicted, presenting many selfish and gullible courtiers, and incompetent kings. He appears to lament its demise, however, and not wish for a repeat in Germany, as the insurgent Bürger-dominated and/or republican regimes seem even more reckless. The advocates of 'liberté, égalité, fraternité' generally come across as perilously naïve or fraudulent, often using altruistic rhetoric to conceal egocentric and vindictive aims. The best cure for a flagging regime is (sometimes considerable) reform, not revolution. Political power should be treated with humility and self-restraint, and the relationship between rulers and subjects should be as intimate as possible. Above all, no part of the social hierarchy should suffer oppression from another, and people should be free to express various opinions, and criticise their government. For Goethe, the Revolution thwarted such principles.

▼ The extant literature has suggested that threatening time periods and situations can enhance people’s political conservatism levels. This thesis provides a systematic examination of the impact of societal threat on political conservatism, and whether distinct types of threat (economic, natural, and social) differentially impact political conservatism. In particular, the present research examines two main competing hypotheses. The conservative shift hypothesis (Jost, Glaser, Kruglanski, & Sulloway, 2003b) postulates that people become more politically conservative during/after threatening periods. The cultural worldview enhancement hypothesis (Pyszczynski, Solomon, & Greenberg, 2003) postulates that people tend to cling more strongly to what they believe when their death is made salient, be it a more conservative or liberal political belief – we assume that societal threat could also make mortality salient, enhancing a held political worldview. Additionally, the present research also examines in more depth how societal threat impacts political conservatism. The dual-process mediation hypothesis suggests that the impact of societal threat on political conservatism happens via variables in the dual-process motivational (DPM; Duckitt, 2001) model, being differentially mediated by world beliefs (dangerous and competitive) and socio-political attitudes (right-wing authoritarianism and social dominance orientation). Finally and because the direct impact of threat on authoritarianism has been questioned (Feldman & Stenner, 1997), the activation of authoritarianism by social threat hypothesis suggests an interaction between social threat and previous levels of right-wing authoritarianism in predicting political conservatism and variables in the DPM model. Seven empirical studies were carried out to test these hypotheses using different methodological designs. The correlational findings of Study 1 showed that the DPM model was useful in predicting political conservatism. The mix-method findings of Study 2A showed that economic, natural, and social threats have distinct psychological meanings. Based on these initial findings, two mix-method studies were conducted to develop textual (Study 2B) and pictorial (Study 2C) experimental stimuli depicting economic, natural and social threat scenarios plus a control scenario. Three experiments were then conducted to test the complete set of hypotheses: Study 3A was completed online with textual stimuli, Study 3B was completed in a lab with textual stimuli, and Study 3C was completed in a lab with pictorial stimuli. Overall, the experimental findings provided more support for the conservative shift hypothesis with participants showing greater conservative political orientation after the threat manipulation (compared to the control condition) in Study 3C. However, this effect did not generalise to other measures of political conservatism (right-wing political orientation, conservative voting intention and preference for political discourses of conservative parties). Additionally, some… Advisors/Committee Members: Milfont, Taciano, Wilson, Marc.
