For courses in Accounting and Taxation.


This unique first edition is the only book on the market that delivers a contemporary synthesis of both psychology and accounting literature related to judgment and decision making.

 

Judgment and decision making are pervasive elements of all accounting settings, and JDM research is one of the largest and most influential areas of accounting research—not to mention the wealth of psychology literature available. How do you make sense of it all?

 

Judgment and Decision Making in Accounting is structured around an innovative framework that provides a unique way of thinking about JDM projects and organizing JDM research. Developed based on many years of teaching and research on accounting JDM, this unique framework succinctly describes the key issues in accounting JDM research, enabling readers to more quickly assimilate the vast material related to those issues. The framework also provides a basis to help readers evaluate their own current JDM research ideas, as well as generate further research questions.

 

 

How up to date are your JDM resources for accounting? How comprehensive are your references?

 

Judgment and Decision Making in Accounting is the most current and complete JDM accounting book available:

 

• This cutting-edge resource covers key JDM issues as it delivers the latest developments in this fast-growing field.

 

• Much more comprehensive in its review and synthesis of pertinent psychology literature than past accounting JDM texts, this first edition serves as an excellent reference book for previous accounting work as well as for direction in where to go in psychology literature.

 

• Its thorough coverage includes JDM quality, knowledge and personal involvement, person variables, cognitive processes, task variables, environmental variables, methods for improving JDM, future research, and more. Each chapter summarizes the findings of all the relevant psychology and accounting literature by topic.

 

• Italso covers topics that other JDM accounting books fail to address, such as how to define and measure JDM quality and how third parties such as investors think about accountants’ JDM, and much more.

 

 

OTHER POINTS OF DISTINCTION

 
How much research do you do?

This unique all-in-one reference helps readers structure their thinking regarding research topics, helping them develop more of a big-picture view. With its innovative framework and thorough synthesis of previous research, it also equips readers with clear, up-to-date knowledge of what has already been done in psychology and accounting.

 

How do you develop research ideas?

This comprehensive reference provides numerous suggestions of under-researched topics throughout the text. In addition, Chapter 10, the concluding chapter, offers specific suggestions for future research, which may help readers generate research ideas.

 

How helpful would an all-in-one JDM resource be for you?

Judgment and Decision Making in Accounting was written for faculty, Ph.D. students, and master’s-level students who are interested in or currently conducting JDM research in accounting, as well as for non-JDM researchers who want to learn more about the field. The book may also be helpful to accounting practitioners who are responsible for their firms’ programs related to effective JDM. It provides a single go-to reference for those already working in the field and serves as a comprehensive introduction to the field for those just starting out in the JDM area.
