Research Currently in Progress

"Revisiting the Status Accounting as an Academic Discipline: Is the Profession Really in Decline?" (Results Obtained).
Evidence from Fogarty and Markarian (2007, FM) suggests that the academic discipline of accounting is in decline, and they suggest that the future of the discipline is in question.  We revisit their critical findings in this paper.  Our paper (1) expands the years covered and (2) investigates the effect of critical assumptions on their results.
