– attend Masterclasses held by Prof. Regina Wittenberg Moerman (U of Southern California, US), Prof. David Veenman (U of Amsterdam, The Netherlands), and Prof. Matthias Breuer (Columbia Business School, US);
– present their working papers and get feedback from the senior faculty in residence;
2. An Accounting Workshop (June 27-28) in which six selected papers will be presented with discussants.

The Free University of Bolzano (Italy) is pleased to announce that the 7th Accounting Workshop will be held on Thursday, June 27 and Friday, June 28, 2024. The Accounting Workshop is hosted by the Augustinian Abbey of Neustift-Novacella in Varna, Bolzano, Italy (co-organized by the Faculty of Economics and Management at the Free University of Bolzano and the Department of Economics and Management of the University of Padua).
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You are invited to submit your original, unpublished papers no later than April 5, 2024 (Please send papers by email to luca.menicacci@unibz.it).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 27, and end on Friday, June 28, before lunch.

Applications are now welcome to attend the Emerging Researchers Consortium in Accounting. This 2-days event will be conducted by Prof. Regina Wittenberg Moerman (U of Southern California, US), Prof. David Veenman (U of Amsterdam, The Netherlands), and Prof. Matthias Breuer (Columbia Business School, 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: (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 April 5, 2024
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 27-28).
