Special Session: Bring an Issue

Do you have concerns about behavioral accounting research that you believe should be brought forward for general discussion? Is it becoming more difficult to find appropriate subjects for experiments? Are there ethics-related confidentiality problems of which researchers should be aware in conducting behavioral studies in the field? Can experiments conducted on the Internet be adequately controlled?

If you would like to actively share your concern(s) in this special session, please submit a one-page description of your concern(s) (three copies, no submission fee) to Chee Chow by March 31, 1999. A number of these issues will be selected for brief presentations at the conference, with the intention of stimulating discussion and exchange of potential solutions to problems facing behavioral researchers today.
