Abstract The incentive-alignment benefits of equity-lined compensation are well-known, but relatively little attention has been devoted to identifying and measuring certain deadweight costs that inevitably accompany such programs. To properly align incentives, the firm’s managers must be exposed to firm-specific risks, but this forced concentrated exposure prevents the manager from optimal portfolio diversification. Because undiversified managers are exposed to the firm’s total risk, but rewarded (through expected

  • The Value Relevance of Network Advantages: the Case of E-Commerce Firms
    Journal of Accounting Research Vol. 41 No. 1 March 2003 Printed in U.S.A. The Value Relevance of Network Advantages: The Case of E-Commerce Firms ∗ SHIVARAM RAJGOPAL, MOHAN VENKATACHALAM,† AND SURESH KOTHA‡ Received 3 July 2001; accepted 9 July 2002 ABSTRACT We show that network advantages constitute an important intangible as- set that goes unrecognized in the financial statements. For a sample of e-commerce firms, we find that network advantages created by Web site traffic have substantial explanatory power for stock prices over and above traditional summary accounting measures such as earnings and book value of equity. Also, network advantages are positively associated with one-year-ahead and two-year-ahead earnings forecasts provided by equity analysts. When we allow network advantages to be endogenously determined by managerial actions, we find that at least part of the value relevance of network effects stems from the presence of affiliate referral programs and higher media visibility. 1. Introduction In this article we document that the stock market values network ad- vantages over and above traditional financial statement information for a ∗ Duke University; †Duke University; ‡University of Washington. Rajgopal and Venkatachalam appreciate funding from the University of Washington and Stanford Uni- versity, respectively. Kotha thanks the Neal Dempsey Fellowship and the Jones Foundation for support.

FEATURE STORY Selling Dollars for 85 Cents For most of the last decade Wal-Mart has set the rules of the retail game. Entrepreneur Scott Blum, founder and CEO of Buy.com, has a different game plan. He is selling consumer products at or below cost. Buy.com is trying to create an outlet synonymous with low prices—in the hope of becoming the leading e-commerce por- tal on the Internet. He plans to make up the losses from sales by selling advertising on the company’s Web site and a magazine to be mailed to Buy.com customers. As if the idea of selling below cost weren’t unusual enough, Blum has added another twist to merchandising: Unlike Amazon.com, he doesn’t want to handle inventory. So he has wholesalers and distributors ship the products directly to his Web site customers. Buy.com’s slogan, “The lowest prices on earth,” may be the most eye-catching sales pitch ever. The company is ruth- lessly committed to being the price leader—even if it means losing money on every sale.
