Subscribe/Renew Journal
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between conservatism and agency costs in firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE). To do so, a sample of 588 firms is selected as research sample for the period of 2004-2010 and fixed effect regression model is used to test hypotheses. C- scoreij index is used to measure unconditional conservatism and Ball and Shivakumar (2005) model to measure conditional conservatism. Multiplying Tobin's Q by free cash flow is considered a proxy for agency cost as independent variable. The results show that conditional conservatism has a negative and significant impact on agency cost while unconditional conservatism has a positive and significant impact.
