| Abstract: | This paper reports the results of a study of the most prolific publishers in the 4 recognized most prestigious journals in accounting (here as: acc-g.) from 1963 to 1999. The focus is on learning whether the widespread perception that behavioural acc-g. research (BAR) has diminished in significance as a prominent paradigm in the U.S. acc-g. academy has any validity and to identify whether a new generation of U.S. BAR researchers is emerging to join the academic elite. Based on the characteristics of persons having appeared as authors 5 or more times during the study period, it seems that BAR is in recession in shaping the U.S. academic agenda (as: a-ag.) in acc-g. The successful individuals' (as: indvs.) power to shape the a-ag. as evidenced by service on editorial boards of prominent journals is dominated by those indvs. who are graduates of a set of elite schools utilizing a neoclassical economics based research paradigm etc. |
