: the sum of earnings per share for year
t
+1 thuough
t
+3, deflated by the stock price at the
beginning of year
t
. IS
t
: income smoothing measure. VR
t
: variance ratio to proxy for income
smoothing. QFII
t
: the percentage of qualified foreign institutional shareholdings. QFII_HH
t
: dummy
variable (1 if the firm with high qualified foreign institutional shareholdings and high qualified foreign
institutional shareholdings volatility, 0 otherwise). QFII_HL
t
: dummy variable (1 if firms with high
qualified foreign institutional shareholdings and low qualified foreign institutional shareholdings
volatility, 0 otherwise). QFIT
t
: the percentage of qualified foreign institutional shareholdings.
2. “a” and “b” denote the significance on 1% and 5% levels respectively, based on two-tailed tests.
