“…For instance, some scholars found a positive association between IFRS adoption and financial market integration (e.g., Cai & Wong, 2010;E. De George, 2013;Dhaliwal, He, Li, & Pereira, 2019), whereas others found an insignificant association between them (Alnodel, 2016;Naranjo, Saavedra, & Verdi, 2017). Similarly, while some previous studies reported a positive relationship between IFRS and market capitalization (Ben Othman & Kossentini, 2015;Judge et al, 2010;Klibi & Kossentini, 2014;Lasmin, 2011), other studies found a negative link between them (Brochet, Jagolinzer, & Riedl, 2013;Hope et al, 2006;Renders & Gaeremynck, 2007;Shima & Yang, 2012).…”
