ABSTRACT
‘Be bold – your study should intrigue the reader by adding new theoretical and/or empirical contributions.’ This advice comes from a team of highly experienced successful researchers who have published, reviewed and edited works on accounting in emerging economies. They reflect on the growth of research and publications in this field, and recognise the significant potential for scholars with expertise regarding emerging economies to make further substantial contributions. While acknowledging the major hurdles faced, they advise that what is unique or common must be systematically teased out and the results tied to related work in both developed and emerging economies.
