We analyse data on Italian listed companies quoted on the Milan stock exchange which perform R&D (Research & Development) activity. We find there is a positive relationship between R&D activity and voluntary disclosures of additional information that: a) regards R&D assets in themselves, in line with theoretical predictions according to which voluntary disclosure makes up for shortcomings in the current financial accounting model; b) is relevant to lenders’ interests, in line with the fact that quoted Italian firms are highly dependent upon lenders. Owner-managers of quoted Italian firms show, moreover, a significant tendency to augment additional information provided to lenders in the event of losses (negative earnings).
