tailieunhanh - Two Hundred Years of Accounting Research

This book is based on a series of papers and other material that the author (occasionally in co-authorship with others – see Acknowledgements) has written during the last decade or more. Several of these papers were from the very outset intended to be integrated in this book, but no chapter is identical to any previously published material. Other chapters are new and exclusive to this book.

Although there are several prominent historical books and encyclopaedias on accounting history an integrated work concentrating on accounting research from an international point of view has long been overdue. Mattessich s book is the first and only one to offer a comprehensive survey of accounting research on a broad international scale for the last two centuries. Its main emphasis is on accounting research in the English German Italian French and Spanish language areas it also contains chapters dealing with research in Finland the Netherlands Scandinavia Russia Poland and the Ukraine as well as Argentina and Japan. A separate chapter summarizes research activity in the rest of the globe from Eastern Europe to Israel the Arab and African countries as well as India China and other countries of the Far East.

This book fulfils both of those needs it may serve practitioners and auditors all over the world no less than students of accounting interested in the evolution of its research efforts. It also offers a survey of the present state of the art from empirical to analytical accounting and from such esoteric subjects as gender issues to the archaeology of accounting finally it casts a glance into the future.
