The Second Accounting and Economics Society Annual Conference (AES 2025) will be held on Aug. 8-9, 2025 at Columbia University in New York City. The Conference serves as a dynamic forum where scholars explore and advance economic analysis in accounting and the related areas. While theoretical frameworks guide our understanding of economic institutions, we welcome all methodological approaches and actively encourage interdisciplinary connections. The Society particularly value research that bridges accounting with other social sciences, fostering mutual insights and innovative perspectives that enrich knowledge across the fields. See https://www.accountingtheory.org/ for more details.

The conference is sponsored by Columbia University and the AES, who jointly sponsor two additional adjacent events – an accounting theory summer school at Baruch College on Aug. 6-7 and the Junior theory conference at NYU on Aug. 10. The AES is an open membership association and encourages the development of theoretical, archival and experimental research. The Society disseminates new exciting research, distributes instruction materials, and promotes intellectual enrichment in conferences and seminars.
