The Journal of Accounting and Economics is an economics journal that focuses on the application of economic theory to accounting topics. The Journal of Accounting and Economics is published by the Dutch academic publisher Elsevier with a frequency of three issues per semester.
history
The Journal of Accounting and Economics was founded in May 1978, with Ross Watts and Jerold Zimmerman as editors, to meet the growing demand for a journal devoted to the application of economic analysis to the field of accounting. The magazine was then published for the first time by North-Holland Publishing in March 1979 , but at that time only with a frequency of three issues per year.
Content

The journal sees itself as a forum for the publication of the highest quality manuscripts which use economic analysis to investigate problems in accounting. A wide range of methods and topics are covered by the journal:
- the role of accounting in the company;

- state regulation of company data release and accounting as a profession;
- the accounting firm's economic theory.
