Research Approach and Methods

We address current economic and socio-political topics such as sustainable development and climate change within accounting research. For example, we deal with the question of how transparency can emergence and investigate its benefits and potential downsides. Our team investigates the influencing factors and economic effects of accounting, business analysis and auditing phenomena in order to contribute to scientific theorising as well as to problem-solving in business and regulatory practice. Our research is application-orientated and we maintain a lively exchange with practitioners.

Our methodological approach - based on economic and behavioural theory - is primarily empirical, but without denying the relevance of other methodological approaches. We work with archive data, field studies and surveys, among other things.
