We find that Nevada, the second most popular state for out-of-state incorporations and a state with lax corporate law, attracts firms that are 30-40% more likely to report financial results that later require restatement than firms incorporated in other states, including Delaware. Our results suggest that firms favoring protections for insiders select Nevada as a corporate home, and these firms are prone to financial reporting failures. We provide evidence that Nevada law also has a causal impact by increasing a Nevada firm?s propensity to report financials that require restatement.
