Previous studies have shown that accounting earnings play an informational role both in determining stock prices (valuation role) and in evaluating and compensating top corporate executive performance (stewardship role). The purpose of this study is to investigate the relation between the valuation and stewardship roles of accounting earnings, using Taiwanese listed firms as the sample. Since the capitalization rate of earnings into value also influences the marginal product of current period actions, we expect that value-earnings sensitivities (VES) and compensation-earnings sensitivities (CES) are positive correlated. The empirical evidence demonstrates that there actually exists a positive link between VES and CES after controlling for other agency-based determinants of CES. This result implies that the Board of Taiwanese listed firms, as the Board of firms in the United States, may try to mitigate managers' myopic decision behavior by taking the timeliness of current earnings into consideration in designing accounting earnings' compensation weights. Our study contributes to advancing our understanding on the relation between the stewardship and valuation roles of earnings in an emerging market.
