Students in the program also study the process by which such information is produced and disclosed and the quality of that information. Academic work in accounting mainly utilizes statistical/econometric methods and theoretical economic modeling in examining these questions. It often draws from and extends frameworks developed in information economics and financial economics. Students who study accounting systems within firms often combine these statistical techniques with field research methods, which include conducting field interviews, collecting field data from companies, and designing and running field experiments.
