Abstract:Laboratory experiments are among the most frequently used methods in management accounting research because they offer high internal validity, enabling the examination of causal relationships. However, experiments often struggle with providing support for a specific proposed causal mechanism, given the abundance of psychological and behavioral theories that predict similar outcomes. In this paper, we argue that agent-based modeling is well suited to complement experiments because agent-based modeling is a powe… Show more
