Studies in Behavioral Accounting Research
The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to studies in behavioural accounting research. Accounting at its core is about the judgement and decision making of individuals such as investors, managers, and auditors. This course examines classic behavioural accounting studies as well as current studies. The course is part of a PhD Programme in Financial Accounting/Auditing provided in collaboration between Aarhus School of Business, Aarhus University, Copenhagen School of Business and University of Southern Denmark.The sponsor for the PhD course programme is the Danish Council for Independent Research in Social Sciences (FSE).
The course is designed for PhD students in the Accounting and Business PhD degree programmes, as the discussions, illustrations and projects will cut across disciplinary boundaries. This course will be especially helpful to students who wish to use the survey, experimental and/or quasi-experimental methods in their dissertations and subsequent research. However, students who plan to use economics-based archival research will also find it helpful to be a well-informed consumer of behavioural research. Archival studies often test hypotheses developed in behavioural research, and behavioural studies provide explanations for anomalies documented in archival research.
