tar-methods

separate

Use when the research design and identification strategy are the bottleneck for a The Accounting Review (TAR) manuscript — choosing the setting, shock, and design that credibly identify an accounting effect, or structuring an analytical model or experiment. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation and robustness (tar-data-analysis) or frame the contribution (tar-contribution-framing).

When to use

• Choosing the setting, shock, and design for credible identification
• Structuring an analytical model
• Designing an experiment to isolate a channel
• Defending a DiD design for staggered adoption
• Fixing primitives and solution concept for analytical models
• Selecting identification strategies for archival accounting

When not to use

• Running the estimation and robustness
• Framing the contribution
