description This study examines the extent to which expected future investments in information technology are value relevant. Prior research has provided mixed results on this issue. By controlling for current expenditures, and showing that the value relevance of investments in information technology is conditional on expectations of future growth, our findings provide an explanation for the contradictory results of prior research. Our findings indicate that expected future expenditures are positively valuation relevant only for high-growth firms, and this relevance is significantly greater than that of aggregate accounting earnings. The value relevance of current period Y2K expenditures is found, for both high- or low-growth firms, to be consistent with other types of expenses recognized in earnings. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
