          Abstract

          ABSTRACT This work investigates whether investor sentiment influences earnings management, specifically on using discretionary accruals to meet earnings benchmarks. The sample includes all non-financial firms listed on B3 (Bolsa, Brasil, Balcão) between 2010 and 2017. We use a GMM (Generalized Method of Moments) panel estimation to analyze the general relationship between investor sentiment and earnings management, and a logistic regression to analyze whether high sentiment increases the likelihood of management occurring in specific cases. As a result, it was not possible to conclude that investor sentiment influences the general use of earnings management. However, there was a higher probability of using earnings management to outperform the previous period’s earnings when the sentiment was pessimistic. Our results are robust to alternative periodicities for the sentiment index and different ways of discretionary accruals estimation.

          RESUMO Este trabalho investiga se o sentimento do investidor exerce influência sobre o gerenciamento de resultados, especificamente na utilização de accruals discricionários para superar benchmarks pré-definidos. Foram analisadas empresas não financeiras listadas na B3 (Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão) durante o período de 2010 a 2017. Utilizou-se estimação de painel em GMM (Generalized Method of Moments) para analisar a relação geral entre sentimento do investidor e gerenciamento de resultados e regressões logística para averiguar se o sentimento alto aumenta a probabilidade de ocorrer gerenciamento em casos específicos. Como resultado, não foi possível concluir que o sentimento do investidor exerce influência sobre o gerenciamento de resultados em sua forma geral, entretanto observou-se uma maior probabilidade da utilização de gerenciamento de resultados para superar resultados de períodos anteriores quando o sentimento é pessimista. Esses resultados mostraram-se robustos à utilização de diferentes periodicidades para o índice de sentimento e diferentes formas de estimação dos accruals discricionários.
