Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research project is to examine research gaps in traditional international accounting studies and reconstruct new research framework and method.
Prior studies have such problems as they could not clearly distinguish time effects and implementation effects, and they could not capture the changes in accounting infrastructure. To overcome these problems, we succeed to identify the relationship in which accounting standards and its infrastructure influence and change each other as "co-evolution". Specifically, combining Difference-in-Difference (DID) technique and process-tracing method, we can comprehensively understand actual state of today's international accounting that international difference and harmonization of accounting standards coexist, and continuity and discontinuity of accounting infrastructure coincide.
