Abstract：While the literature generally contends that investors as a whole are misled by firms’ earnings management before initial public offerings (IPOs), it does not distinguish institutional from individual investors. We argue that institutional investors have better ability to recognize earnings management and adjust accordingly. Given the required disclosure of institutional investors’ bidding data during IPO bookbuilding, we use a sample of Chinese IPOs to test our hypothesis. Our findings suggest that institutional investor IPO bid prices are negatively correlated with earnings management. The findings are robust to a battery of different specifications. In contrast, we document that individual investors’ oversubscription ratio is positively correlated with IPO firms’ real earnings management. Additional results show that IPO offer prices (relative to the proposed IPO price range) are negatively correlated with earnings management, suggesting that institutional investors’ ability to recognize earnings management pressures IPO issuing firms into setting a lower offer price.
