Svenska börsnoterade företag anpassade år 2005 sin redovisning enligt International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Detta medförde att företagens goodwilltillgångar skulle nedskrivningsprövas. Nedskrivningsprövningen kan göras genom att diskontera framtida kassaflöden med en diskonteringsränta. Denna studie undersöker om företag opportunistiskt justerar diskonteringsräntan vid nedskrivningsprövning av goodwill. Om detta varierar ökar över tid, om företagens börsvärde påverkar och om de tillfällena då företag sänker sin diskonteringsränta jämfört med föregående år ökar det opportunistiska beteendet.

Bakgrund: Under senare år har flygbolagens prissättningsmodeller blivit allt mer invecklade. Detta har lett till att flygresenärernas möjlighet att ta hänsyn till flygbolagens prismönster har minskat. För att möta denna asymmetriska information har flera studier på den amerikanska marknaden genomförts. Samtidigt som studierna fastslår att det finns stora skillnader mellan flygbolagens prissättning, lyser bristen av dessa studier på den västsvenska marknaden med sin frånvaro. Syfte: Att öka konsumenternas förståelse för prisförändringar på den västsvenska flygmarknaden.
