520 _aApproximately one quarter of SBF 120 Index French firms, whose stock is traded on the main French markets, use the “human capital” concept in their social reports or disclosures. The purpose of this research is to determine the quality of such reports and to assess the motives and financial impacts of such disclosures. On one hand, results from the study show that political visibility, sector membership, and internal social climate are major explanatory variables of “human capital” disclosures. On the other hand, no correlation is found between “human capital” information and stock performance. Moreover, information disclosed by French companies is poor in quality. Such empirical observations raise questions about how an effective external control can exist, and about the opportunity for future regulations.
