Abstract

This issue contains papers presented at the 2012Review of Accounting Studiesconference entitled “Accounting research with implications for practice,” which was hosted by the University of California Berkeley’s Haas School of Business in November 2012. Professor Patricia Dechow of Berkeley partnered with me to organize a productive and enjoyable conference. We would like to thank her, her staff, and colleagues, especially Dayna Haugh, for their hard work and gracious hospitality. We also thank the Haas School’s Center for Financial Reporting & Management and Cambridge Business Publishers for their financial support. Finally, we thank the conference discussants for their insightful comments. Written adaptations of their discussions are published alongside the papers in this issue.
