Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to establish a new analytical framework and methodology in international accounting studies. First, we have succeeded to theoretically identify the interrelationship between accounting standards and accounting infrastructures in which both define and change each other as co-evolution drawing on the new institutional economics. Second, we find that DID analysis still could not clarify the causal mechanism in which accounting infrastructure is relating and we need to conduct an in-depth case analysis simultaneously. For that purpose, we find process-tracing approach has a lot of possibilities to achieve our purpose. Finally, we find we can better understand current status of international accounting where the difference and harmonization in accounting standards and the continuity and discontinuity in accounting infrastructure coexist, with integrating empirical study and case analysis.
