Research methods
Our focus is on empirical studies based on archival data which emphasize the identification strategy of investigated relations. We try to build a bridge between the different methodological and conceptual approaches in accounting research by testing behavioral, sociological, or psychological hypotheses using archival data and by underlining empirical results with surveys and opinions of practitioners.
Research outcomes
We regularly present and discuss our research at national and international conferences and workshops. We publish research results in international peer-reviewed journals as well as in relevant journals for practitioners.
