Developments in Accounting Regulation: A Synthesis and Annotated Bibliography of Evidence and Commentary in the Academic Literature (2003-2004)

In this article, we synthesize in annotated bibliography form, recent regulation-related findings and commentaries published in the academic literature. This annotated bibliography is the first in a planned series of bibliographies that will summarize regulation-related academic research for at least the period 1990 and forward. We reviewed academic outlets such as The Accounting Review, The Journal of Accounting Research, The Journal of Accounting and Economics, Accounting Horizons, The Journal of Accounting, Auditing & Finance, The Journal of Accounting and Public Policy, The Journal of Business, Finance & Accounting, Research in Accounting Regulation, and the Social Science Research Network. We annotate results of regulation-related research studies and key points from regulation-related commentaries.
