Note(s): Table 3 reports results from the Mishkin test that investigates the effect of stock liquidity on the extent to which investors overestimate the persistence of annual accruals. E_t+1 is income before extraordinary items of fiscal year t scaled by average total assets of fiscal years t and t+1. ACC_t is the sum of change in net non-cash current operating assets and change in net non-current operating assets from fiscal year t−1 to fiscal year t scaled by average total assets of fiscal year t−1 and t. CASH_t is the difference between E_t and ACC_t. ARET_t+1 is the abnormal annual stock return that cumulates over a 12-month period starting from the fourth month after the end of fiscal year t+1. We follow the characteristic-based portfolio matching procedure proposed in Daniel et al. (1997) to compute the abnormal annual stock return. ^**, ^* and ^† denote statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% levels respectively, using a 2-tailed test
