Philip Brown is one of the most admired and respected accounting
academics alive today. He was a pioneer in capital markets research
in accounting, and his 1968 article, co-authored with Ray Ball, "An
Empirical Evaluation of Accounting Income Numbers," arguably had a
greater impact on the course of accounting research, directly and
indirectly, than any other article during the second half of the
twentieth century. Since that time, his innovative research has
focused on issues that bridge accounting and finance, including the
relationships between net profit reports and the stock market, the
long-run performance of acquiring firms, statutory sanctions and
voluntary corporate disclosure, and the politics and future of
national accounting standards to name a few. This volume brings
together the greatest hits of Brown's career, including several
articles that were published in out-of-the-way places, for easier
use by students and researchers in the field. With a foreword
written by Stephen A. Zeff, and an introduction that discusses the
evolution of Brown's research interests and explains the context
for each of the essays included in the volume, this book offers the
reader a unique look inside this remarkable 50-year career.
