Abstract

Prior studies have characterized Verrecchias (1983) discretionary disclosure costs mainly in terms of competitive concerns. This study shows that separating the managers and the shareholders into two separate, self-interested beings also leads to disclosure costs, precluding discretionary disclosure in certain cases.
