Topics:
We are interested in research that will be of interest to scholars in more than one of our core disciplines. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. The impact of the structure of the legal system, including legal origins, procedural rules, and the legal environment in general, on the evolution of financial contracts, financial markets, business enterprises, and business groups.
2. The impact of legal and market institutions, including accounting, on financial markets and corporate actions, innovation, economic growth, and stability.
3. The coevolution of the legal rules and market institutions that govern financial sector activity, that activity itself, and the nature of the broader economy and financial markets.
4. The regulation, organization, and performance of financial institutions.
5. The relationships between the structure and performance of financial institutions, the performance of these institutions, and the overall performance of financial markets and economies.
6. The interplay between legal rules, accounting regulations, corporate governance, firm performance, cost of equity and debt capital, financial market performance, and economic performance.
7. The political economy of regulation of corporate governance, financial institutions, and financial markets.
8. Accounting, finance, and legal issues related to ownership and property.
We are particularly interested in papers examining regulations triggered by the Covid-19 and their effects on corporate actions, disclosures, other market metrics, etc.

Emerging Researchers Consortium in Accounting (June 13-14, 2022)
– Call for Applications –
Applications are now welcome to attend the Emerging Researchers Consortium in Accounting. This 3-half-day event will be conducted by Professors Eva Labro (UNC), Shiva Rajgopal (Columbia Business School) and Stefano Cascino (LSE).
Relevant Questions, Substantive Theory and Carefully Executed Designs: Searching for the Fit
The ERC aims at exposing 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 getting feedback on their research projects. Each session will feature the following format: (i) a masterclass led by the resident faculty on a specific topic in accounting; (ii) 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 May 1st, 2022.
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 to the ERC attracts a fee of € 150. We encourage all those in attendance to stay on for the JLFA Conference (July 14-15). Places for both events are limited and anyone wishing to attend should register as soon as possible.
