摘要:Extant literature on professional services firms in general, and on the Big 4 accounting firms in particular, consistently shows that these firms are in a state of institutional flux.

Adopting a sociological perspective inspired by the work of Pierre Bourdieu, this article unravels the meaning of success within the Big 4 via an exploration of who makes partner. Specifically, the paper reports upon a q...

This is in contrast to the possible overinvestment when the ex ante investment is publicly observable. Distortions in ex ante investment lead to inefficiencies in ex post project aba...

摘要:We investigate whether firms and their top executives bear reputational costs from engaging in aggressive tax avoidance activities. Prior literature has posited that reputational costs partially explain why so many firms apparently forgo the benefits of tax avoidance, the so-called under-sheltering puzzle. We employ a database of 118 firms that were subject to public scrutiny for having engaged in tax shelters, representing the largest sample of publicly identified corporate tax shelters analy...
