The 7th Annual Accounting Workshop on Experiments (AWE)
Announcement and call for papers
We are pleased to announce the Seventh Annual Accounting Workshop on Experiments (AWE) to be held on Friday 16 May 2025 at UNSW Sydney. The keynote address will be presented by Associate Professor Emily Griffith, University of Wisconsin-Madison. This conference is to be preceded by a Doctoral Forum which will occur on Thursday 15 May 2025, with a doctoral masterclass conducted by Professor Mandy Cheng, UNSW Sydney.
Main conference
Friday 16 May, 2025
AWE seeks interesting papers that employ experiments to investigate accounting questions. Early-stage papers are particularly encouraged. Submitted work must represent original work that has not been published or accepted for publication in a journal. At least one author for every accepted paper must register for AWE and be prepared to present at the Main Conference on Friday 16 May 2025.
Doctoral forum
Thursday 15 May, 2025
The forum provides doctoral students with the opportunity to participate in a masterclass conducted by Professor Mandy Cheng, UNSW Sydney, as well as a mentoring session with experienced experimentalists to receive feedback on experimental materials or preliminary results.
Students wishing to attend the forum should submit a brief overview of up to one page, which includes a title, the name of their supervisor(s), a description of their study, and the stage of the development of their experiment and thesis. At a minimum, students participating in the forum are expected to have a developed theory and research instrument. Emailed submissions should cc the student’s principal supervisor. Once accepted, students will be informed about their allocated mentors and are required to submit a summary of their study (up to 30 pages) to the mentors no later than 24 April. Students participating in the Doctoral Forum are expected to attend the main conference.
