| Abstract: | This discussion considers four aspects of the survey paper on empirical accounting choice research by Fields, Lys and Vincent; implications of the authors' selection of an expansive definition of accounting choice; implications of the authors' call for research on the consequences of accounting choice, including the costs of defective accounting choices and the benefits of superior choices; implications of the authors' call for a reconsideration of research designs that explicitly consider groups of accounting choices. |
