Abstract
The paper aims to explore the role of the fair value hierarchy as useful information tool
in estimating the liquidity risk of an asset. We investigate the existence of a relationship
between the three levels of fair value and the investors’ reaction (313 financial and non
financial companies listed on the Eurostoxx Index) during an event of liquidity
expansion or liquidity contraction. The usefulness to investors of liquidity risk
information is analyzed by tracing investors’ reactions to 103 events during the
financial crisis (2008-2010) using fixed effects model and PLS regression. Our findings
demonstrate that investors’ firm-specific reaction to the crisis events is influenced by
the three-level of fair value hierarchy. It is also demonstrated that investors react
according to the level of liquidity risk in both financial and non-financial firms. During
liquidity-constraining events, investors’ negative reaction is stronger for the most
illiquid assets and liabilities (Level 3) than for the liquid ones. During liquidityexpanding events, investors react more positively to the most illiquid assets (Level 3)
than to the liquid ones (Level 1 and 2).

Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
1. Introduction
The 2007-2010 time frame has been the scene of major economic upheavals which have
profoundly marked the financial world. Events with high economic impact have
occurred, such as the collapse of Lehman Brothers, which experts considered highly
unlikely in the financial sector. These events have led to high volatility in the financial
markets which has caused losses and the spreading a fear of a depression amongst
investors of comparable to that of 1929. For the above mentioned reasons it is
interesting to deepen the understanding of the causes of this financial crisis, focusing on
the risk of corporate liquidity. In particular, it seems that there could be a relationship
between this type of risk and the information provided by the companies to the markets
on the toxic assets held in their balance sheet.
The value of financial instruments, as is known, is measured according to the fair value
principle. The international standard setters (IASB and FASB) have agreed that the
evaluation of such balance sheet items can be achieved through the use of different
methodologies and in accordance with a liquidity criterion of the evaluated financial
instruments.
As is known, the first form of assessment used for financial instruments is the price at
which it is listed in a liquid and active market (the so called mark-to-market or 1st
level). Securities assessed in this manner are classified in the first level of Fair Value
Hierarchy and according to standard setters their price represents the nearest concept to
that of fair value. If market prices are not available, the nearest approximation of a
security’s fair value is the price of a similar financial instrument listed in a liquid and
active market or the price of a recent and similar transaction between knowledgeable
and willing parties (2° level). In the event that such information is unavailable, a
security’s fair value can be estimated by using financial and statistical models of
common acceptance (the so called mark-to-model or 3rd level). This last technique may
require the imposition of unrealistic assumptions causing the generation of errors and /
or information asymmetry between the firm and the financial markets. By defining
liquidity risk as the inability to raise new funds (funding liquidity) or to liquidate assets
on the market at an "expected price” (asset liquidity risk) (Brunnermeier, 2007), Level
1 of the Fair Value Hierarchy appears to be the most liquid since it is made up of
assets/liabilities whose values are based on their market price. In contrast, the value of
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
securities included in Level 3 of the Fair Value Hierarchy is calculated through
“internal” models, resulting in assets/liabilities with a higher liquidity risk. The higher
the level 3 amounts are, the greater the assets’ liquidity risk will be and therefore the
higher the total liquidity risk of the company linked to the uncertainty of disinvesting
securities at a “predictable price” (Brunnermeier 2007). Assuming the existence of the
link described above and the presence of a contraction of liquidity on the financial
markets (as happened during the 2008 financial crisis) investors tend to penalize illiquid
companies (i.e. ones with large amounts of Level 3). In fact, low liquidity levels on the
financial markets lessen the possibility of disinvesting assets at a predictable price,
causing serious consequences for companies. The increased uncertainty should generate
a negative impact on company’s value. In an efficient financial market this would be
reflected in stock prices. Therefore, a high level of liquidity risk may cause a decline in
corporate stock prices. In particular, there may be situations in which the assumptions
on which the models are built result particularly unrealistic. This is what happened
during the recent financial crisis. Activities and / or liabilities may become illiquid, i.e.
investors may not trust most of the securities’ assessments and may decide to no longer
include theme in their portfolios.
The main goal of this paper is to explore the role of the fair value hierarchy as an
information tool in calculating the liquidity risk of a security/company. In particular, the
existence of a relationship between the three levels of fair value and the reaction of
investors when a liquidity-constraining or liquidity-expanding event occurs is
investigated. This will allow the understanding of whether fair value hierarchy properly
informed investors of firms'liquidity risk or whether, ultimately, its introduction by the
international standard setter has been useful for investors.
Lev & Zhou (2009) have contributed to the debate on fair value accounting by
analyzing the separation of financial assets and liabilities into three liquidity levels. In
particular, they investigated investors’ reaction to crisis events during the last months of
2008 (the peak of the financial crisis) based on the fair value disclosures of 3,929 U.S.
financial and nonfinancial companies under SFAS 157. They demonstrated a complex
reaction to the liquidity risk information conveyed by the three fair value levels.
Starting from Lev & Zhou’s (2009) hypotheses, investors’ reaction to crisis events in
European firms under IAS 39 and IFRS 7 are analyzed. Moreover, this analysis is
conducted between February 17th, 2008 and June 22nd, 2010. In addition, a non
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
parametric methodology (PLS regression) is applied to test the robustness of the
models
The paper is structured as follows. In Section 2, a survey of the most relevant fair value
literature is provided. Sections 3 and 4 illustrate our research design and the data
sample. Sections 5 and 6 are dedicated to the measurement of investors’ reaction to
crisis events. In particular, the group of crisis events and the cumulative abnormal
returns (CARs) are introduced. In Section 7, our hypotheses are stated. Section 8
provides the results of the empirical analysis. In Section 9, the final conclusions are
stated.
2. A Summary on Fair Value Literature
Starting in the early nineties, extensive research has been carried out on the use of
market prices for asset and liability pricing.
First of all it must be stated that researchers have focused primarily on the valuerelevance of fair value. For value-relevance we intend the ability of fair value data to
incrementally explain the behavior of the stock prices. Mary E. Barth1 (1994) supports
the existence of a strong relationship between these two variables and believes that
banks’ stock prices changes can be measured by the use of the securities at market
value. This important result was confirmed by Barth, Landsman and Wahlen2 (1996).
They demonstrate that when banks’ net profits are measured using Fair value
accounting, they result more volatile than those calculated with historical cost asset
valuations. Barth, Landsman and Wahlen (1996) also demonstrate that banks violate
regulatory capital requirements more frequently when using Fair Value Accounting than
when using Historical Cost Accounting. In 1996, Barth, Beaver and Landsman3 noted

that bank stock prices are partly explained by the difference between estimated fair
value under SFAS 107 and the current book value.
Unlike previous researches, Barth, Beaver and Landsman (1996) noted for the first time
that the additional explanation required by SFAS 107 significantly affected bank stock
prices. By the contrary in the same year, Eccher, Ramesh and Thiagarajan4 (1996),
performed an analysis in which the historical cost seemed to have a higher explanatory
power over bank stock prices, both in absolute and in relative terms. Previously, Beaver
and Landsman5 (1983), Beaver and Ryan6 (1985) and Bernard and Ruland7 (1987) had
found that the estimated fair value calculated for certain types of assets according to
SFAS 33, had no incremental explanatory power over bank stock prices than had their
book value. In addition, other studies such as Murdoch8 (1986), In 1996 Cornett, Rezaee
andTehranian9, investigating the impact on stock prices of 23 fair value accounting
(FVA) statements issued by financial institutions demonstrated how the increases
(decreases) caused by the likelihood of a new emission of FVA standards are followed
by negative (positive) abnormal returns on bank stock prices.
During the following years numerous studies were conducted on the value-relevance of
Accounting standards. Holthausen and Watts10 (2001) are critical of all research
conducted thus far, stating that these studies offer little support to the standard setter,
since they fail to create a generalized descriptive theory.

Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
Barlev and Haddad11 (2003) state the need to evaluate financial reports based on the
benefit investors gain by the reduction of agency costs and the improved efficiency in
corporate control that these reports are able to offer. In fact, they argue that Historical
Cost Accounting offers ample room for balance sheet manipulation, leading to an
incorrect display of the current situation and so reinforcing the relevance of Fair Value
Accounting.. Fair Value Accounting draws attention to equity and its variations and,
therefore, managers should be asked to better monitor the "health" of equity itself, its
maintenance and the profits it generates. With the application of FVA, Barlev and
Barlev and Haddad (2003) suggest that managers create an additional financial report,
which is to indicate the operations conducted by the firm in order to maintain equity.
Historical Cost Accounting induces managers to create hidden reserves of capital to
cover, if necessary, administrative errors, increasing agency costs. Morevoer, historical
Cost Accounting distorts the financial ratios on which creditors concentrate their
attention, such as the long term debt coverage ratio and the interest coverage ratio.
Barlev and Haddad (2003) claim that FVA has another important feature: it stimulates
management to better understand and study the market, making them face a global,
open and competitive environment, and therefore inducing them to be more competent.
Freixas and Tsomocos12 (2004), historical cost allows the distribution of a higher
amount of bank dividends over time. According to these scholars, in fact, the bank'
s role
as institutional intervenor of intertemporal smoothing may worsen with the use of fair
value accounting. Generally, it is believed that a sufficiently high level of criminal
manager prosecution incentives managers to report accurate and correct values in
balance sheets. If moral hazard and information asymmetry are very high, the current
value (fair value) could thus increase market discipline, inducing managers to make the
right decisions. According to these scholars, if this method of measurement is correctly
used it could prevent systemic crises since information on financial issues is obtained
prior
than with Historical Cost Accounting. Fair Value Accounting creates lower
bankruptcy costs for the environment because it promotes the bankruptcy of Distress
companies, preventing them from prolonging their existence and redistributing their

resources amongst healthy companies. This will also prevent banks from betting on the
survival of Distress companies and investing in their equity and supporting high risks.
Tsomocos and Freixas (2004) observe, however, that the use of fair value increases the
volatility of bank profits and lacks accuracy since it relies on subjective judgments for
the assessment of illiquid items. Banks insure themselves against unforeseen
contingencies through their dividend policy, building up reserves in times of economic
prosperity and using them in times of crisis, in order to equalize the amount of
dividends paid to shareholders over time. By using fair value, banks might be tempted
to shift their focus on stakeholders’ short-term interests, even though regulation could
prevent this from happening through the imposition of stricter rules. According to
Freixas and Tsomocos (2004), the adoption of fair value measurements induces bank
managers who expect temporary adverse shocks in bank stock prices to act in a
conservative way, such as not investing in risky assets, reducing interest rates on
deposits or choosing not to distribute dividends by reducing intertemporal smoothing.
Landsman (2006) identifies key issues that standard setters should seriously consider. In
particular a key issue is related to how to minimize management'
s manipulation on
economic and statistical models used to assess financial instruments classified in the 3rd
level of Fair Value Hierarchy. In addition, Landsman (2006) clarifies that the
institutional differences in the implementation of Fair Value Accounting will play an
important role towards an effective and efficient use of the above mentioned evaluation
system. Landsman also emphasizes the need to assess the incremental explanation that
the disclosure required by the standard setter offers shareholders. .
Allen and Carletti13 (2007) demonstrate that there is a possibility that Fair Value
Accounting can lead to a contagion effect between banks and insurance and that in
times of crisis this contagion is not desirable, since it could then lead non-Distress banks
to be insolvent. This is because markets can be illiquid even when prices are
continuous, since in some cases a further increase in the demand or in the offer can
cause a significant price change. Allen and Carletti (2007) argue that during an
economic crisis, relatively low prices could lead asset managers to aim towards
achieving liquidity objectives rather than to reflect on future cash flows that can be
generated from such assets. In this case, Historical Cost Accounting is certainly more

Economics Vol. 45, No. 1, pp. 358-378.
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
efficient. Therefore, when there is an economic crisis and the evaluation system is not
adjusted for illiquidity, the only way to mitigate a contagion effect is to temporarily
suspend the application of Fair Value Accounting. In their subsequent study, Allen and
Carletti14 (2008) add that Fair Value Accounting should be used particularly when asset
prices collapse due to fundamental reasons, i.e. the falling expectations on future cash
flows which are reflected in stock prices. Allen and Carletti (2008) also clarify that
there are more damaging effects when prices collapse and the historical cost accounting
method is being used. According to these authors, standard setters should rightly apply
Fair Value Accounting even in periods of illiquidity providing some corrections for Fair
Value Accountings’ aforementioned shortcomings. Allen and Carletti (2008) propose to
supplement market valuations with asset value estimated by financial models and by
Historical Cost Accounting. This in order to inform investors on the cash flows
generated by the associated securities and on the ability of banks to reclassify their
assets at historical cost (i.e. from Available For Sale to Held To Maturity). The
incremental disclosure requested by Allen and Carletti (2008) would prevent bank
managers’ moral hazard, which would then lead them to reclassify assets even in non
illiquid periods in order to park risky and volatile (but profitable) assets in bank balance
sheets, basically implementing arbitrage regulation.
While some sustain that the historical cost leads to some forms of inefficiencies, others
believe that the market value could inject artificial risks in the economic system,
degrading the value of the information included in prices and causing sub-optimal
choices. Plantin, Sapra and Shin15 (2008) found that the damage caused by the market
value reaches its maximum value when this method is used for the assessment of longterm illiquid and senior instruments which form a large portion of banks’ assets. In
reviewing previous literature, the abovementioned authors pointed out the inadequacy
of pricing certain asset categories below market value, particularly, for the asset
categories assessed on OTC markets. The IMF study16 of 2008 states that standard
setters are following the correct direction with the implementation of Fair Value

Accounting, despite the difficulties caused by the measurement and the volatility that it
entails. This is explained by the better assessment of the company'
s financial situation
(especially for financial firms), which is obtained through the use of market prices, even
though, according to the IMF (2008) this accounting method, must be improved. For
the IMF (2008), Fair Value Accounting allows investors to have greater transparency on
the effects of the economic volatility on company’s perfomances, exacerbating cyclical
movements. According to this institution, if high profits result in poor incentives for
management in times of economic prosperity, it is also true that insecure evaluations
could damage corporate funding in times of crisis, resulting in lower levels of available
credit. All this to emphasize the need to apply specific crisis covenants and limitations
to short term gains during periods of economic prosperity. The IMF (2008) also points
out that the balance sheet of a highly capitalized company is more resistant to market
fluctuations, especially when there is a large amount of assets assessed at market value
rather than when are liabilities valued with the same method. Similarly, the cyclical
volatility of corporate financial statements is exacerbated when, with the use of market
prices as accounting method, there is a severe lack of liquidity in corporate balance
sheets. The IMF (2008) therefore suggests that, in addition to having sufficient
capitalization and liquidity, companies should counterbalance their total assets at fair
value with a similar set of liabilities, in order to alleviate the pro-cyclicality of corporate
balance sheets.
Laux and Leuze17 (2009) affirm that counter-cyclical capital requirements are a better
solution to the difficulties brought forth by Fair Value Accounting. According to these
authors, we must investigate the interrelationships between Fair Value Accounting and
financial crises: for example, implementation problems of this accounting method and,
particularly, the risks of litigation, which may have played a key role in the recent
financial crisis should be better explored. Laux and Leuze (2009), in fact, suggest that
the current crisis may have been exacerbated by transparency issues on the financial
markets (especially banks) rather than by the overreaction to Fair Value Accounting: in
times of economic prosperity banks are unable to increase their leverage ratio both with
Fair Value Accounting and Historical Cost Accounting. This may contrast the critics of
Fair Value Accounting, who see a high distortion for securities held to maturity (HTM)

Organizations and Society, Vol. 34, pp. 826–834.

and consider this method as scarcely credible and reliable if obtained with the use of
models. By using Historical Cost Accounting, managers have an information advantage
over their controllers. This can lead to management issues , since it is difficult to give
managers flexibility without sustaining any risk of free riding. Laux and Leuze (2009)
argue, therefore, that it is correct to give more flexibility to business managers only if
the two parties (the controller and the agent) have the same set of information.
Otherwise, more stringent accounting standards or possible contagion effects on
financial companies are the price to pay for correct market signals to investors.
According to Penman18 (2006), the FAS 157 considers fair value as an exit value,
raising two main questions: the first consists of the pertinence of fair value in capturing
value for shareholders and the second relies on the possibility of applying it to the
aggregates of assets and liabilities. In his paper, Penman (2006) distinguishes what the
advantages and disadvantages of using the fair value are. In the event that shareholder
value is created only by the exposure to market prices, Fair Value Accounting leads to
favor the shareholders. The disadvantages, according to this author, reside in the
possible mismatch between asset and liability evaluations (i.e. when different types of
security assessments are used), in the possible introduction of financial bubbles in
corporate accounts, in the total replacement of information that can be derived from the
historical price (the price, in fact, also depends on the historical price and not only on
the information gathered with the market price) with that gathered from the market. In
his opinion, the primary issue is not to determine which between the historical cost and
the market price constitutes the best evaluation system,
since these two types of
accounting methods function differently . The historical cost, in fact, according to
Penman (2006) is able to better predict a company’s future earnings when compared to
the market price. It also concentrates investors’ attention on the income statement
rather than on equity as happens with the use of market price. With Historical Cost
Accounting the value of a company depends on its profitability and not on the
subsequent equity changes. Historical cost accounting also does not include the present
value of projected revenues, but exclusively recognizes the benefits of adding value to

traded goods and transactions. Penman also argues that Historical Cost Accounting
should be used in its natural frame-work, and only here can it be correctly judged.
3. Data sample
In the data sample reference is made to the European context as it represents the largest
geographical area which applies the accounting standards issued by the IASB. The
companies chosen for the sample are those listed in the Eurostoxx index. The Stoxx
indexes have a high level of liquidity. They are widely used in financial practice as
"underlying" financial instruments such as ETFs, futures, options and structured products
and as a benchmark for measuring risk and corporate performance. The Eurostoxx index
consists of a variable number of small, medium and largely capitalized companies located
in 12 Eurozone countries (Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland,
Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain).
The sample used for the analysis consisted of 313 companies listed in the Eurostoxx
index. The observation period is the 2008, 2009 and 2010 fiscal years.
Because the 2008 economic crisis started in the financial sector and subsequently
spilled over to the real sector, we study the two sectors separately. Two subsamples are
built based on the dataset, both for financial and non-financial firms since financial data
differs substantially between these two categories of firms, as can be seen from the
descriptive statistics shown in the Appendix. In fact, there is a relevant difference
between the values of financial firms’ balance sheet items measured at fair value and the
values of those that are not. Also a much stronger leverage is noticeable in all three
periods for financial firms. The latter achieve a lower ROA than non-financial firms,
while the values of operating activities vary in the three years considered. Further, the
values at fair value of financial firms weighed significantly on the total (55.1% and
28.9% for assets to liabilities) than weighed those made of non-financial firms. In
subsequent years a drastic drop of these percentages for both sub-samples is evident,
due to the financial crisis. In 2007 the EBIT of non financial enterprises is higher than
that of financial enterprises, who were profiting greatly due to the pre-crisis situation on
the credit markets. In the 2008 financial statements of non-financial companies a higher
average value of the statistics is noticeable, as is shown in the Appendix, since these
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
firms were slightly more affected by the financial crisis. In 2009, thanks to the
reclassification and stabilization of the financial markets, the financial companies’ are
back to recording a higher average EBIT.
Considering the medians of the various hierarchical levels of fair value, it is noticeable
that level 3 Assets has higher relevance for financial firms than that of the non-financial
companies.. The sum of the percentages of the medians of levels 2 and 3 of the financial
firms is always higher than when compared to non-financial corporations.
4. Research design
According to Fama, Fisher, Jensen e Roll (1969) and Ball e Brown (1968), our analysis
takes the form of a typical event study19. Here below a summary of our research design:
1. Sample selection and data collection (stock market prices, Fair value assets and
liabilities, ect…)
2. Identification of liquidity-contracting and liquidity-expanding events in the
period 2008-2009-2010 and aggregation in event groups
3. Estimation of the abnormal returns (dependent variable) after each crisis event.
4. Check of the statistical significance of each event by ANOVA (ANalysis Of
VAriance)
5. Regression analysis using fixed effects model and Partial Least Square (PLS) as
robustness check, separately for financial and non-financial companies.
To test our hypotheses an OLS regression was carried out for the group of financial
companies, for that of non-financial companies and for the full sample of companies:
CAR = α + β 1 ∗ fair _ value _ assets _ level1 + β 2 ∗ fair _ value _ assets _ level 2 +
+ β 3 ∗ fair _ value _ assets _ level 3 + .... + β n ∗ x n

For each event group three regressions are run: the aforementioned regression, the
aforementioned regression with fixed effect correction and, finally, a regression which
compounds the possibility to reclassify assets/liabilities at their historical cost
introduced by the IASB in mid-October 2008. Each regression is run with and without
the control variables.
5. Crisis events
In the period from February 2nd , 2008 to June 22nd , 20 we identified 103 crisis events.
Appendix (Table 13) provides a brief description of each event.
Furthermore, according to Lev & Zhou (2009) a two-day event window for stock return
computation is used. In particular, it is assumed that the effects of each individual event
terminate within a two day period (the same day and the next). The mean cumulative
event returns (MCRs) are calculated to measure the stock market reaction to the 103
crisis events. In general, the direction of investors’ reaction in both financial and Nonfinancial firms was identical—negative to alarming events, like the Fannie and Freddie
takeover or Lehman’s implosion. Nevertheless certain events were apparently perceived
as beneficial to financial firms yet harmful to non-financial firms and vice versa.
In order to identify the statistical significance of the above described events, we apply a
widely used techniques in social sciences, the ANalysis Of Variance (ANOVA), This
approach allow us to eliminate non-statistically significant events which could
adversely affect the results of the analysis. Four different one-way ANOVAs
(monofactorial) were conducted by using the following samples:
•
Fair Value and Non Fair Value samples for financial companies
•
Fair Value and Non Fair Value samples for non-financial companies
•
Fair Value and Non Fair Value samples for all the companies
•
Fair Value samples of financial firms and Fair Value samples of nonfinancial
corporations.
The crisis events that did not report any statistical significance are excluded from the
analysis. After this process, 54 events were considered in the analysis. Then, we
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
classified the 54 crisis events into three groups according to their nature:
•
Rescue;
•
Distress;
•
Capital injections.
The first group consists of events in which financial institutions have been financially
helped or bailed out. The second group classifies all financial adverse events that
occurred during the period (bank troubles, fraud, ect). The third group includes events in
which injections of capital were operated by Central Banks and by the American and
European governments. This group includes interest rate cuts from the major Central
Banks, liquidity injections, legislative actions and policy announcements, the TARP
program, ext.
6. Measuring investors' reaction to crisis events
The investors’ reaction to fair value hierarchy was measured through the concept of
mean cumulative abnormal returns (CARs). The use of abnormal returns as the
dependent variable is strongly supported by the main academic literature. In this case,
the abnormal returns were calculated as follows:
(1)
Where
CARsij = the mean cumulative returns at the event j for the i-th firm;
T = the number of trading days covered by the event;
Rit = the rate of return at day t of the i-th firm
REt = the return of the Eurostoxx index at the day t.

7. Our Hypotheses
Non-financial companies
The fair value assets of non-financial companies pertain generally to non-core
businesses and they are retained in balance sheets exclusively for liquidity and hedging
purposes. These assets are highly liquid and mainly classified in levels 1 and 2 of the
fair value hierarchy. When liquidity-restrictive events occur, investors tend to require
liquid securities, causing a consequent increase in the value of the assets held by nonfinancial companies, according to the phenomenon better known as flight to quality20.
By the contrary, the fair valued liabilities of non-financial companies consist mainly of
relatively illiquid instruments such as mortgage-backed securities, whose values tend to
decrease in constraining liquidity events. Investors’ reactions to fair-valued liabilities of
nonfinancial firms are more complex. For liquidity-constraining events, the value of
liabilities will decrease, due to heightened default risk of firms, benefiting shareholders.
On the other hand, in a liquidity crunch, firms will be less able to rollover (refinancing
risk) their short-term liabilities, thereby damaging investors. Thus, investors’ overall
reaction in liquidity-constraining events to the liabilities of nonfinancial firms primarily
depends on the maturity of the liabilities (Lev & Zhou 1999). If the firm’s fair-valued
liabilities are primarily short-term, investors will react negatively (rollover concerns),
whereas if most liabilities are long-term and of Levels 1 or 2 quality, investors will react
positively (credit risk or default concerns). Due to this ambiguous behavior, we will not
consider the impact of fair-valued liabilities of nonfinancial firms. Thus:
Proposition 1: when liquidity constraining events occur, investors will react21
positively to the levels 1 and 2 fair value assets and will not react (or only mildly
and negatively) to Level 3 fair value assets

forthcoming; Acharya V.V. and Richardson M. (2009), “Causes of the financial crisis”, Critical Review Vol. 21, Nos.
2–3, pp. 195-210.
21
We have to remember that we assess the investors’ reaction over the abnormal returns on companies’ s share
prices.
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
According to this statement, the stock market prices of non-financial companies should
behave in the opposite way when positive events occur, i.e. they would diminish in
expansive liquidity-events.
Proposition 1-bis: when expansive liquidity-events occur, investors will react
negatively to levels 1 and 2 of fair value assets and do not react (or only mildly
and positively) to Level 3 assets.
Financial companies
In financial firms, there is a greater concentration of financial instruments classified in
levels 2 and 3 (such as CDOs, Mortgage-Backed Securities…) of the fair value
hierarchy than the latter, as shown in the descriptive statistics in the Appendix. Level 3
assets are more illiquid and present higher levels of information asymmetry than level 1
and level 2 assets. Liquidity constraining events would have, therefore, a negative effect
on the stock prices of financial firms. More illiquid the assets of financial firms, the
greater investors’ negative reaction is . The following hypothesis is reached:
Proposition 2: when liquidity-constraining events occur, investors will react
negatively to fair value assets and more strongly to those classified in level 3.
Clearly, the opposite is true for positive events.
Proposition 2-bis: when liquidity-expanding events occur, financial company
investors react positively to fair value assets and more strongly to those
classified in level 3.
Financial companies’ liabilities are less illiquid than their assets. Further, there is a large
government insurance on customers’ deposits. Because of these two considerations, the
following statement must be considered:
Proposition 3: when positive and negative liquidity events occur, investors do
not react to the level 1 and 2 fair value liabilities and react mildly to level 3
liabilities.

8. The relevance of Fair Value Hierarchy on European Companies’ stock
returns
8.1.
The behavior of financial firms
The results of the empirical analysis for financial companies are shown in the appendix
(tables 17, 20 and 23).
Rescue group
The hypothesis supporting the influence on stock prices of financial companies’ fair
value assets during rescue events (assumption 2-bis), appears to not be confirmed. In
fact a negative and highly significant (99%) pattern
22
in is reported in L3A for the
rescue group. This is confirmed by the result obtained by the control regressions which
show a large number of significant coefficients which present the same pattern. In
particular, the OLS calculated with the use of a dummy finds significant coefficients for
L1L and L3L with an F-statistic significant at 99%. This is the opposite of what one
might expect, given that the bank bailouts should be expansive liquidity events.
The OLS regression thus confirm the negative signs of the coefficients and leads us to
state that the bank bailouts are events with specific characteristics. These features do
not allow us to assimilate them conceptually to the other expanding-liquidity events. A
possible explanation for the aforementioned results may reside in a negative perception
of the investor'
s "rescue risk/risk of nationalization" which is strongly felt in banks with
substantial exposure to Level 3 assets. In fact, the stock prices of these banks could
"include” the fact of being the next to be saved and have to undergo governmental
interference in their management. Attention must be brought to the fact that the
financial sector tends to be somewhat opaque and that a greater control by the savior
state is not the as good as a bank might expect. This is confirmed by the fact that in the
rescue group there are no significant values for non-financial firms.
Level 3 Liabilities shows a negative coefficient in each of the performed regressions. As
mentioned above, this result could be due to investors’ perception of a greater level of
22
We remember that negative pattern is defined as a decrease from level 1 to level 3 of the values of the coefficients
and, similarly, positive pattern is a growth between the two values.
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
"risk of nationalization" for banks with a liability of Level 3, often without insurance. In
the regression with the control variables the leverage coefficient is negative and highly
significant. Thus, the investors’ negative reaction, in the presence of bank bailouts, is
stronger for heavily indebted institutions. This supports the belief of the existence of a
"rescue risk" described above.
Distress group
The events that make up this group are all liquidity-constraining and hence, as
mentioned above, they have negative coefficients. Furthermore, lower levels in the fair
value hierarchy (levels 2 and 3) should correspond to lower values in the OLS
coefficients calculated above. However, the OLS regression shows positive coefficients
for levels 1 and 3 and negative sign for the second level of assets. Clearly, hypothesis 2bis is not verified and this could be given by the fact that the Distress group reported the
lower number of observations than any of the other event groups. In fact statistical
significance is not detected with the analysis carried out on this set of events. We can
ultimately recognize that there is a negative pattern in the levels of fair value (i.e., going
from level 1 to level 3) and this confirms that equity prices have been hampered by the
reaction of investors to companies liquidity risk.
The three coefficients of liabilities in the OLS regression (L1L, L2L and L3L) drive us
to confirm hypothesis 3. In fact, despite the different sign of the coefficients of L1L
(which is negative) and L2L (which is positive), the coefficients show absolute values
that are much lower than L3L, which as expected, has negative sign.
Capital injections group
The coefficients generated from the capital injections group confirm hypothesis 2-bis.
With the OLS regression a positive pattern between the asset levels show positive
values for levels 2 and 3. In particular, level 3 has a positive coefficient higher than the
level 1 and is significant at 90%. This is confirmed in the regression with control
variables. Morevoer, hypothesis 3 is not confirmed. The rescue group and the capital
injections group are the most significant (in the dummy-regression of the capital
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
injections group L2L and L3L are significant at 95% while in the rescue group L1L and
3 are significant at 90 % and 95% respectively).This leads to the rejection of the idea
that financial companies’ stock prices are not influenced by the levels of fair value
liabilities.
8.2.
The behavior of non-financial companies
The results of the empirical analysis for non-financial companies are shown in the
appendix (tables 18, 21 and 24).
Rescue group
The bank bailouts do not seem to have an impact on non-financial firms. In fact, there
were no significant factors except in the case of a level of liabilities that seems to have
some negative influence on stock prices.
Distress group
There were no significant coefficients in any of the performed regressions. However,
the coefficient of L3A is mostly negative and higher than that of L1A, partly supporting
proposition 1. investors’ reaction to liquidity constraining events is negative and the
stronger it is, the higher the level of the fair value hierarchy (i.e. level 3). The "flight to
quality" phenomenon in non-financial companies is not confirmed because the
coefficient of L1L is negative in the ordinary OLS and positive in that with fixed effects
for the distress group. We can notice a negative pattern (between L1A and L3A) for
both assets and liabilities in this group. Not being able to benefit from the comparison
with the dummy regression coefficients, we can only compare ordinary OLS
coefficients with OLS fixed effects coefficients. Even here we can see that investors are
not indifferent to the assets assessed at fair value because the coefficients of L3A are
relevant and negative. In the regression with control variables, the coefficients of L1A
and L2A, although not statistically significant, are positive and lead us to hypothesize a
positive reaction of investors to such assets, as proposed in Proposition 1.
As for liabilities, the signs of the regression coefficients lead to the belief that investors
have not experienced a refinancing risk for non-financial firms.
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
Capital injections group
The dummy-regression and the regression with fixed effects support hypothesis 1-bis
due to the negative sign of the coefficients of L1A and L2A. When liquidity-expanding
events occur, the fair value coefficients show an increasing trend from level 1 to level 3
of fair value assets. We cannot investigate liabilities due to their aforementioned
ambiguous behavior when events which restrict global liquidity occur. Similarly to Lev
and Zhou (2009), both the pattern and the positive coefficients of L2L and L3L for the
rescue group suggest that the positive reaction resulting from improved credit risk
(default) may have prevailed over the negative risk of refinancing (rollover). This is not
followed by a similar pattern of the levels of liabilities of the capital injections group,
which also contains expansionary liquidity events.
8.3. Robustness checks
Regressions with control variables
We replicate all the regression analysis reported above using control variables. We
believe important to determine what happens if control variables are included into the
analysis to anchor the strong negative trends in stock prices during the financial crisis to
some key financial information. This analysis is intended to strengthen what has been
previously found, although a lower statistical significance should be expected as some
information is “captured” by the control regressors.
According to the previous literature, the control variables used are:
1. EBIT;
2. ROA;
3. NET CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES;
4. LEVERAGE
By analyzing the results reported in the appendix (table 20 and 21), we can confirm the
previous considerations illustrated in section 8.2.
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
The PLS Regression
The PLS methodology is often used in the analysis of panel data which is here used as a
robustness check.Unlike the Multiple Linear Regression, the Multiple Logistic Analysis
and the Principal Components Analysis (PCA), PLS regression is not disturbed by the
collinearity amongst regressors. Unlike OLS regression, using the PLS regression the
number of observations can be less than the number of regressors since predictors are
correlated and redundant and therefore, the number of fully effective predictors is lower.
PLS points out, in fact, some pseudo-components from the X factors able to explain the
Y factors. These pseudo-components are extracted in descending order of importance
and are defined “pseudo” because they are bound. In particular, these pseudocomponents (also known as latent carriers or PLS factors or components) perform a
simultaneous decomposition of independent variables (X) and dependent (Y), with the
condition that they explain the covariance between X and Y. With such a constraint we
have therefore a generalization of the PCA23.
23
The number of PLS components to be extracted can be arbitrarily decided in accordance with the percentage of
explained variance or, preferably, determined through the method of cross validation. Using the variance, we can use
two measures for choosing the number of PLS components. These are:
1). The standard deviation of the residuals

2). The square root of the Prediction Error Sum of Squares
n
PRESSa
yi
yˆ (

i ), a

where yˆ (
i ), a
is the prediction of the response obtained without using the ima observation in the model. The PLS
algorithm starts with a standardization of the columns of the X matrix of order n * Jx and the Y matrix of order n *
Jy, in order to allow a comparison between the variables. The following describes the PLS procedure when the
dependent variable is one.
An initial PLS component of order n*1 is constructed as follows:
t1
w11x1
w12 x 2
w1 j x j
w1 J x J
x
x
(1)
with t1 column vector of order n*1 and the coefficients w1j calculated to take into account the links of each variable X
with the dependent variable, ie
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
The PLS (Partial Least Square) regression methodology is applied to test the robustness
of our analysis. Two types of PLS regression for the calculation of coefficients are
performed:
one using the maximum number of vectors;
one employing a cross validation24 to decide the number of vectors that must be
used in the analysis.
cov x j , y
w1 j
Jx
j

cov x j , y

.
(2)
A simple ordinary regression without intercept is now calculated, as
y

(3)
where c1 is the slope and y1 the vector of the regression residuals. The third step is the replacement of (1) in (3) to
find the first equation of the PLS regression
y
c1 w11 x1
c1 w12 x 2
c1 w1 j x j
c1 w1 J x J
x

(4)
whose coefficients are easily interpretable. If the fitting quality of the regression is low, a second component PLS t2
as a linear combination of residuals x1j of the Jx ordinary regressions without intercept of the individual variables on
PLS component t1 can be built. The new component t2 is not linked to the first component t1 and tries to explain the
residue of the previous regression y1 as much as possible. The result is
t2
w21 x11
w22 x12
w2 j x1 j
w2 J x1 J
x
(5)
x
In which the coefficients are:
w2 j
cov x1 j , y1
Jx
j 1
2
cov x1 j , y1
As one can easily guess it goes on to perform a similar regression to (3), or y
.
c1 t 1
c2t 2
y 2.
t1 and t2 are now replaced in this last formula by using the previous expressions, generating a second PLS
regression. We can understand that this iterative process can continue to be carried out on residues y2 and x21, …, x2j,
…, x2J of the regressions of the response y and that of the original variables x1, …, x2, …, xJ on t1 and t2.
Generalizing, we can describe the PLS regression methodology with
y
c1 t 1
c2t 2
.....
cAt A + y A.
(6)
i.e. the dependent variable is the weighted sum of A PLS components plus a residual yA.
24
The cross validation method verifies how the model reconstructs the observations kept aside and is not
used for the model construction. The observations are divided into two groups. The first and largest,
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
The results of the above analysis, which can be found in the Appendix, confirm our
previous results. PLS regression shows for non-financial companies the same pattern
previously discussed in sections 8.1 and 8.2. Finally, the full sample of firms confirms
the negative pattern for the rescue and Distress group and a positive pattern for the
capital injections group. The pattern still persists in both methods, indicating their
previously reported strength.
7. Conclusions and further considerations
The introduction of the fair value hierarchy was initially defined as a positive form of
investor intervention. In fact, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 allow the use of different methods for
the assessment of financial instruments. Some of them might be based on unrealistic
assumptions (as in the case of all financial instruments attributable to the Level 3 of Fair
Value Hierarchy), returning values that might not be suitable to study asset values in
years of high volatility such as those of the recent financial crisis. The fair value
hierarchy would provide a greater transparency in evaluating of financial instruments,
establishing first, the use of market prices and last, the so called mark-to-model, helping
investors understand the amount of information asymmetry contained in a balance
sheet.
In particular, with the arising of securities classified in the lower levels of the hierarchy
these fair value levels indicate the presence of an increased liquidity risk. This allow
investors to understand the overall liquidity risk of the company. We analyzed
investors’ reactions when liquidity expansive and liquidity restrictive events occurred.
We compared our results using OLS regression, fixed effects models and an OLS that
considers the possibility of reclassifications allowed by the IASB in mid-October 2008.
An additional robustness check both an OLS regression in which control variables were
called training set, is used to develop the model while the second, the test set, provides insight on how the
observations are reconstructed with a variable number of factors extracted from the training set. If there
are only a few number of observations, which is very frequent in a PLS regression, the test set can also be
constructed by using a single rotated observation in the sense that, one by one, each observation becomes
a test set. It must be emphasized that each PLS result obtained using the cross validation method is more
robust than those that arise from the simple use of a number of vectors equal to the number of regressors
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
included and a non-parametric method as the PLS (Partial Least Square) regression
were used.
Financial Companies
When liquidity-constraining events occur, investors react more negatively to L3A than
to L1A and L2A (proposition 2) and react negatively to L3L (proposition 3).
When liquidity-expansive events occur, investors react more positively to L3A than to
L1A and L2A (proposition 2-bis).
When bank bailouts occur, investors react in the following manner:
- more negatively to L3A than to L1A and L2A
- negatively to L3L
- more negatively to financial companies with higher leverage.
Non-financial companies
When liquidity-constraining events occur, investors’ reaction to L3A is negative.
However, when liquidity-expansive events occur, investors react positively to L3A and
negatively to L1A and L2A.
At both liquidity-constraining and liquidity-expansive events, investors seem not to
consider the higher/lower rollover risk (risk of refinancing) connected to the level 3
Liabilities (L3L).
Our findings could be affected by several limitations such as the number of
observations, the process of aggregation into groups of events and the approach used to
estimate the abnormal returns. This leads us to believe that further studies are needed to
understand the influence of fair value hierarchy on European companies’ stock prices.
Despite this, we can respond positively to the initial research question of whether fair
value hierarchy properly informed investors of the liquidity risk, and so improving their
investment decisions. This is because we believe that the above limitations are not
likely to affect the results, since the scope of our empirical analysis is the identification
of the relationship (and not the creation of a forecast model) between stock returns and
Fair value disclosure, liquiditiy risk and stock returns
the three levels of fair value disclosure. In fact, it can be concluded that the introduction
of fair value hierarchy is useful for European company investors. Through the above
analysis we can document investors’ complex reaction to information on liquidity risk.
However, it is expected that further studies based on larger databases will support or
refute our findings.

Framework”).
