http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0138638950/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0138638950&linkCode=as2&tag=bestaccounting-20


This unique first edition is the only book on the market that delivers a contemporary synthesis of both psychology and accounting literature related to judgment and decision making.

Judgment and Decision Making in Accounting is structured around an innovative framework that provides a unique way of thinking about JDM projects and organizing JDM research. Developed based on many years of teaching and research on accounting JDM, this unique framework succinctly describes the key issues in accounting JDM research, enabling readers to more quickly assimilate the vast material related to those issues. The framework also provides a basis to help readers evaluate their own current JDM research ideas, as well as generate further research questions.

If you are a PhD student in Accounting and your interests lie in Behavioral Research in Accounting, this text is a must read. Even if your interest lies in economic theory, this text will broaden your perspective on factors that are not considered in economic models.

This text is well-thought out and well written. Enjoy!

This book is an excellent overview of the major theories that impact accounting judgment and decision making. Too many people forget, or don't know, that accounting isn't made up of distinct rules with yes/no answers - there are many opportunities for financial results to be changed through a good/bad decision by an accountant.

The only thing that keeps this book from being four stars - it needs to be even longer and more detailed. This is an extremely relevant topic in today's world.
