Abstract

In order to maximize the benefits, listed companies will carry out enterprise management through more hidden real earnings management methods, and reducing R&D expenditure is an important method of real earnings management. In this paper, the listed companies on China’s Gem Market from 2016 to 2020 are selected as a research sample, and the regression analysis of the measurement model is carried out by using Stata. It examined the impact of reduced R&D investment on the company’s future operating performance under the background of real earnings management motivation, and further analysed the relationship between real earnings management behaviour and company performance in different enterprise life cycles. The study found that the reduction of R&D expenditure by listed companies for the real earnings management motive will have a negative impact on the company’s future operating performance as a whole. And it has a significant negative impact on companies in the growth and recession periods, while for mature companies, there is a non-significant positive impact. This provides a reference for corporate management of companies at different stages.
