“AI and Large Language Models in Accounting Research”

The 2025 Ray Ball Journal of Accounting Research Conference will be held at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business on May 2-3, 2025. Funding for the conference is generously provided by the Chookaszian Accounting Research Center at Chicago Booth.

We encourage submissions for the upcoming 2025 JAR Conference across a broad set of research areas but are especially interested in submissions exploring the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Language Models on capital markets and our field more broadly. AI and language modeling hold the potential to revolutionize information production, communication, and financial reporting. We seek innovative papers addressing the challenges and opportunities these emerging AI technologies introduce for the users and producers of financial information and society at large. We also welcome insights into the evolving role of accounting regulators in this dynamic environment.

As is traditionally the case with the JAR conference, papers selected for inclusion in the conference are published in the annual conference issue in the spring of the year following the conference (the inclusion of conference papers in the conference issue is, as always, subject to satisfactory resolution of the editorial review process). Conference submissions will be considered for both inclusion in the conference and the journal at the same time.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Papers should be submitted at wiley.atyponrex.com/journal/JOAR. The submission fee is $750, $500, or $50 (based on the country the submitting authors reside in). The deadline for submission is December 1, 2024.
