Paper Submission Procedure:

We invite submissions of papers in the fields of accounting, finance, and governance. We encourage the submission of empirical studies employing novel data and approaches both in terms of data gathering (e.g., field studies, experiments, surveys, hand-collected) or settings (e.g., private firms, European data, banks and financial services, entrepreneurial firms) to answer research questions of potential interests to regulators and practitioners.

You are invited to submit your original, unpublished papers no later than March 31, 2025 (by email to Andrea Sanseverino @ andrea.sanseverino@unina.it). Please make sure that the manuscript does not include information about the author(s) but that it is included in a separate file. Papers accepted for presentation will be assigned a discussant to foster debate and receive additional feedback.

Participation in the Workshop is open, and a limited number of papers will be invited for presentation. The Workshop will start at lunchtime on Thursday, June 26, and end on Friday, June 27, before lunch.

Accounting Summer Camp
- Emerging Researchers Consortium in Accounting -

June 25-26, 2025

- Call for Applications -

Applications are now welcome to attend the Emerging Researchers Consortium in Accounting (ERC). This 2-days event will be conducted by Prof. Ilan Guttman (NYU Stern, US), Prof. Thomas Bourveau (Columbia Business School, US), and Prof. Yonca Ertimur (U of Colorado Boulder, US).

Relevant Questions, Substantive Theory, and Carefully Executed Designs: Searching for the Fit.
The ERC aims to expose emerging scholars to the most current and both theoretically and practically relevant research trends in accounting. The three sessions are conducted by top-quality researchers in different fields; the informal sessions will let participants interact and get feedback on their research projects. Each session will feature the following format: (a) a masterclass led by the resident faculty on a specific topic in accounting; (b) a presentation round in which early-stage researchers will present their work and receive feedback from the audience.

Application Process:
The consortium is open to all PhD students and emerging researchers (max three years from the award of the PhD) in accounting. Applicants should submit a summary (max 2,000 words) of their research project (either a working paper or extracts of the PhD thesis) before March 31, 2025

The submission should be structured (preferably) as follows:
(i) Motivation/Research Questions;
(ii) Theory and Hypotheses Development (do not use too much space to review extant literature but motivate your hypotheses/propositions);
(iii) Methods and Research Design. We expect this to be a substantial part of the submission. Discuss the data-gathering process, introduce key variables and illustrate the analyses you intend to carry out;
(iv) Expected Results & Contribution. A preview will suffice.

Attendance at the ERC attracts a fee of € 200. We encourage all those in attendance to stay on for the Accounting Workshop (June 26-27).
