Additional text
'Useful not only for PhD students and young researchers but also for seasoned researchers who need a refresher of the framework of behavioural accounting research. The overall thrust of the book transcends the behavioural accounting research domain. The book is useful to any researcher committed to pursuing
rigorous accounting research.' — Ana Simpson, International Journal of Accounting.
'This book covers all bases necessary to learn how to become a competent behavioral researcher. It does a great job in laying out issues of theory, design, measurement and analysis. This is sure to be a classic for all PhD seminars in behavioral research and will also be useful as a gateway for those researchers looking at exploring and using behavioral methods.' — Jeff Cohen, Boston College-past Senior Editor at Auditing: A Journal of Practice and Theory (AJPT), Currently an Editor at Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR).
