Marco Allegrini and Giulio Greco

FINANCIAL REPORTING, 2017, vol. 2017/2, issue 2, 43-49

Abstract: In this paper, we discuss three issues of current debate about financial accounting research. Firstly, we discuss the popularity of quantitative methods in financial accounting and the research limitations related to this dominance. As second issue, we critically discuss the epistemological approach underlying research methodologies. Finally, we discuss the practical implications of current financial accounting research and the need to search for a real impact factor besides the academic contribution.
