How Useful are p-Values for Inference?

Social sciences like psychology and economics and natural sciences like medicine and epidemiology find that many published results do not reproduce, and misuse of p-values and statistical significance is often identified as a potential reason. The American Statistical Association issued a formal statement on the use of p-values in 2016 and 43 follow-up papers in a 2019 special issue suggested ways to improve. Panelists will discuss the extent of this problem in accounting research and possible solutions.
