revacc-methods

separate

Use when research design and identification are the bottleneck for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — choosing the setting, shock, and design that credibly identify an accounting effect, or fixing the primitives and solution concept of an analytical model. Designs the study; it does not run the estimation and robustness (revacc-data-analysis) or frame the contribution (revacc-contribution-framing).

When to use

• Choosing the setting, shock, and design for credible identification
• Fixing primitives and solution concept of an analytical model
• Designing a study to isolate a channel archival data cannot separate
• Selecting identification strategies for endogenous accounting treatments
• Pre-committing primary measures and alternative proxies
• Planning comparative statics for analytical models
• Designing experiments with realistic stimuli and power analysis

When not to use

• Running the estimation and robustness
• Framing the contribution
