JAR Conference
The annual Journal of Accounting Research conference at Chicago Booth highlights current topics and recent discoveries in the field.
JAR ConferenceThe Journal of Accounting Research (JAR) is the oldest private research journal in the field and it regularly ranks as one of the top accounting research journals in the world.
JAR is a general-interest accounting journal. It publishes original research in all areas of accounting that utilizes tools from basic disciplines such as economics, statistics, psychology, and sociology. This research typically uses analytical, empirical archival, experimental, and field study methods and addresses economic questions in accounting, auditing, taxation, and related fields such as corporate finance, investments, capital markets, law, and information economics. Between 1963 and 2001, the journal was published by the Chookaszian Accounting Research Center and currently is published by the center in partnership with Wiley-Blackwell. For more information, view our Aims and Scopes.
JAR is published five times a year, in March, May, June, September, and December. The May issue features papers presented at the previous year's annual research conference.
