我们的研究显示,企业管理层倾向以不按比例的方式,汇报略高于以十进制作为单位的总收入(例如 1,000 万、3,000 万、10 亿),并审视这种行为的动机和后果。聚焦研究以十进制表述收入有其重要之处,原因是尽管这种做法在高管薪酬合同、分析师预测和管理预测的目标收入设定中十分普遍,但过去从未有这方面的研究。我们的研究亦指出,实现这些目标的压力为以十进制单位来汇报收入的做法提供了一种解释。然而,这些激励效应并不能提供完整的解释,因为即使没有这些明确的目标,仍会以十进制单位作为达标门槛。我们进一步发现,当公司首次达到以十进制单位的门槛时,不论有否达到其他目标,其新闻报导篇幅、机构持份、流动性和分析师关注度都会有所增加。这些结果表明,管理层会为了提高公司的整体知名度来达成以十进制作为单位的目标。总体而言,研究显示了对本质上没有经济意义的十进制数字的偏好,并对市场参与者的行为具有可衡量的影响。这些研究结果为以往尚未探索过的一系列管理目标敞开了大门。
