Field Experiments in Managerial Accounting Research is a comprehensive review of this topic. Field experiments promise to be a useful method in managerial accounting research, not only because they allow making causal claims with confidence, but also because they permit researchers to answer a set of research questions in the field that were not possible before. After a brief introduction, section 2 discusses causal inference and section 3 describes the experimental method. Section 4 discusses the promise of field experiments for managerial accounting research and section 5 provides examples of field experiments in this stream of the literature. Section 6 presents some guidelines for running field experiments and section 7 presents the limitations of this method. Finally, section 8 provides a conclusion.
