I learned that research in the Theory Track of the accounting discipline primarily is about mathematical modeling of the effects of government policies and business decisions. It borrows methods from economics for such modeling. In the case of the Corona-Kim paper: quadratic programming without constraints, and exponential utility functions. Usually these are not empirical papers, i.e., they don’t test the model explicitly against data. Indeed this would be hard to do with notions like “intensity of scrutiny”.
I am a discussant for “A theory of principles-based classification” by Konvalinka, Penno, and Stecher, at HARC 2021.
The Association for Symbolic Logic has hosted an Annual Meeting in North America in the spring of each year.
With the cancellation of the 2020 meeting due to coronavirus concerns, this rich history is worth pausing to consider.
Personally I attended relatively regularly during 2001–2019.
(Meetings rotate between Midwest, East, West.)
This $7,705 grant from Decision Research Corporation will support work by undergraduate students, a grad student, and PI in their work on the automatic complexity of Fibonacci arrays, while exchanging knowledge between industry and the University.
