The purpose of the present study is to explain the effect of accounting information quality on corporate equity cost and to investigate the moderating role of information asymmetry and the simultaneous moderating role of this variable and the comparability of financial statements in this context. The research timeframe for this period is 5 years from the beginning of 2013 until the end of 2017 and the sample includes 91 companies listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. Multivariate regression was used for statistical analysis. The results of the analysis indicate that the quality of accounting information has an adverse effect on equity cost, so that the higher the quality of accounting information, the lower the cost of equity; and vice versa. Also, information asymmetry has a direct relationship with this effect. But the simultaneous impact of comparability of financial statements and information asymmetry on the impact of accounting information quality on equity costs is not confirmed. The results of the first two hypotheses are similar to those of Emof et al. (2018), which examined the effect of accounting information quality on equity cost in the United States, but the third hypothesis suggests that it is inconsistent.

The main aim of the present study is to examine the effect of intellectual capital disclosure quality on capital cost of companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange. Statistical population of the present study is consisted of companies listed on Tehran Stock Exchange during the time frame of 2008 to 2015 and sample volume is considered equal to 140 companies by using screening method. in this study, hybrid data is utilized. intellectual capital disclosure quality (disclosure of structural capital, disclosure of human capital and disclosure of relational capital) were considered as independent variables as well, in order to study their effect on capital cost of companies. In this study, in which panel data was used, results obtained firm data analysis by using multiple-variable regression at 95% confidence indicated that intellectual capital disclosure quality (mental capital disclosure, human capital disclosure and relationships capital disclosure) have a negative (reverse) effect on capital cost.

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of the corporate life cycle stages on the cost of equity of firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. In this study we used Dickinson's Model (2011) to determine the corporate life cycle stages and Gordon Model to calculate cost of equity. In this study, we first took samples using the cash flow statement data (including cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from investing activities and cash flow from finance activities) and separated the firms in the growth stage, maturity stage and decline stage, then, using multivariate regression analysis and mean comparison tests, hypotheses were studied and tested. The results of 110 firms (990 company - year) from 2006 to 2014 shows that the firms, cost of equity in different stages of the life cycle (growth, maturity, decline) are significantly different. The results also show that in the decline stage the cost of equity is at the highest level and in the maturity stage it is at the lowest level.
