The relationship between the fair value and the income volatility can be found by the empirical study of the income volatility of listed banks of China. The research result shows that the income volatility induced by the fair value significantly exceeds the results of the historical cost mode and the mixed measurement mode, and the interior volatility of economy is the main cause of the net income volatility of listed banks in China.
