Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Labor and Accounting Group invite submissions to the Fifth Annual Labor and Accounting Conference, to be held at the Stanford Graduate School of Business in California, on April 18 and 19, 2025. The conference is open to faculty and PhD students by invitation only.
The keynote and panel speakers are as follows:
Keynote Speaker: Kathryn Shaw (Stanford)
Panel Speakers: Mary Ellen Carter (Boston College), Ed deHaan (Stanford), Regina Wittenberg Moerman (Northwestern University)
We invite high-quality, unpublished empirical and theoretical research in labor or personnel economics and accounting. We particularly encourage submissions from early-stage researchers, including untenured faculty and PhD students. This is a unique opportunity for these researchers to present their work to our esteemed audience. Papers can be empirical, archival, experimental, field-based, or theoretical. We also consider early-stage proposals.
SUBMISSIONS: Submit your paper or proposal by completing this Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeOBotfJ53H22G8fHFH6iR4kdHtNfbgmAjSrn78gu3JJsfXiA/viewform. Submitted papers should not have been accepted for publication or be in advanced stages of the review process. There is no submission fee. The submission deadline is December 9, 2024.
Members of the program committee will review all submissions. We expect to announce the final program and send conference invitations by late January 2025.

About the event hosts:
Stanford Graduate School of Business is a place where anything and everything is possible. It’s where the boundaries of knowledge are pushed beyond what’s imaginable. Diverse ideas and perspectives aren’t just accepted; they’re encouraged and embraced. In this unique environment of innovation and collaboration, principled leaders emerge. Faculty, students, staff, and alumni develop the courage to take risks, the passion to lead, and the motivation to make a positive impact on themselves and the world.
The Labor and Accounting Group aims to bring together academics working at the intersection of accounting, labor economics, and personnel economics. We believe this intersection is ripe for collaborative work and would be well served by researchers’ regular interactions.
The group has a working paper series and regularly hosts conferences to foster interaction among researchers. We hope the working paper repository can be where all labor and accounting research appears first. Ideally, group members could periodically check the page and see what’s new since last time, easily keeping abreast of the literature. Our conferences will serve the broader goal of continuing our ongoing research working group. We hope the interactions among researchers at our conferences will provide helpful feedback on current projects and serve as a birthplace for new projects and collaborations in the area.
