This paper selects 1,074 listed firms from Shanghai stock exchange and Shenzhen stock exchange. The empirical study shows that the concentration ratio of stock rights is positively related to firm performance when it is from 40.917% to 74.965%, and firm performance improves faster than the concentration ratio of stock rights when it is from 57.941% to 74.965%. The restriction degree of stock rights is positively related to firm performance when it is from 0.975 to 3.119,and firm performance improves faster than the restriction degree of stock rights when it is from 2.047 to 3.119.

This study uses agency theory to test whether the demand for quality audits by listed Chinese companies is associated with changes in ownership structure, which is characterized by the dominance of the state, institutional and individual shareholders. Our empirical test results obtained in a concentrated ownership setting are supportive of agency theory. Specifically, we find that the decrease of state shares and the corresponding increase of institutional shares result in a demand for higher-quality audits in China's stock market. Our results provide empirical support for the Chinese government's recent resumption of reducing state ownership in listed companies in order to improve firm performance and the supply of quality accounting information through independent auditing.

Summary: Recent research in financial market efficiency and fundamental analysis indicates that stock prices must reflect immediately any new information, and therefore, there is a strong correlation between stock prices and its intrinsic value. In this context, a new theory emerges that deals with response coefficient of economical determinants and in particular earnings and cash flows from operations (CFO). This paper examines the information content of accounting earnings and CFO to explain security returns in Tunisian Stock Exchange through the study of there response coefficients and the explanatory power of regression models. In this work, we study the improvement of the model specification by the use of accounting earnings and/or CFO. In order to improve the relevance and contribution of our results, we examined firms specific factors such as the permanence of accounting earnings, growth and firm size. We have tested four hypotheses treating the incremental information content of these two variables. In a similar way to the study of Charitou et al (2000, 2001), we introduced the log of the market-to-book ratio and the market value of equity at the beginning of year, respectively as indicators of growth and firm size and as proxy of risk Fama and French (1992). The results show the effect of permanence, growth and firm size on the incremental information content of accounting earnings and CFO, respectively.
