The Accounting Research Groups at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, UPF Barcelona School of Management, Free University of Bolzano and University of Padua are pleased to announce that the fifth edition of the Accounting Summer Camp will be take place from July 13th to 15th, 2022.

The Accounting Summer Camp will feature two events: an Early Researcher Consortium (ERC), conducted by Prof Eva Labro (U of North Carolina), Prof Beatriz Garcìa Osma (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) and Prof Stefano Cascino (London School of Economics), and the JLFA Conference (July 14th and 15th) in which selected papers will be presented.

The ERC aims at exposing emerging scholars to the most current and relevant research trends in accounting. The three sessions are conducted by established researchers in different fields, and participants will be able to get feedback on their research projects. Each session will feature the following format: (i) a masterclass led by the resident faculty on a specific topic in accounting; (ii) a presentation round in which researchers will present their work and receive feedback.

 The JLFA is an interdisciplinary journal sponsored by the Stern School of Business at NYU and the NYU School of Law. It seeks to publish top-quality empirical, theoretical, and policy-oriented scholarship at the intersection of law, finance, and accounting. Its conference is hosted by the UPF-BSM and co-organized by the Faculty of Economics and Management (University of Bozen-Bolzano), the Department of Economics and Management (University of Padova), and the Dept. of Economics & Business at Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
