Tenth Accounting Research Workshop in Basel

The tenth Accounting Research Workshop took place in June at the University of Basel. The workshop was co-organized by Robert Göx (University of Zurich) and Ulf Schiller (University of Basel). Alfred Wagenhofer was one of the keynote speakers and opened the workshop with a presentation of his current project that investigates the effects of regulatory changes and the interrelation between different compliance institutions. Before the workshop, several DART students had the opportunity to participate in a three-day DAR doctoral course on analytical research held by Ilan Guttman (NYU). Guttman, also the second keynote speaker at the workshop, provided useful insights into seminal works on disclosure and earnings management in accounting theory. DART students Reinhard Schrank, Elisabeth Plietzsch, and Nikolina Krneta had the opportunity to present their research papers and to participate in workshop discussions.
