Accounting Research Wins Outstanding Paper Award from the American Accounting Association
Toronto, January 10, 2022 – A paper presented at the American Accounting Association Management Accounting Section (AAA MAS) Midyear Meeting co-authored by two faculty members at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management received the meeting’s Outstanding Paper Award.
“Assessing the Social Impact of Corporations: Evidence from Management Control Interventions in the Supply Chain to Increase Worker Wages” is co-authored by Jee-Eun Shin, an assistant professor of accounting and Greg Distelhorst, an assistant professor at UofT’s Centre for Industrial Relations and Human Resources, who is cross-appointed to the Rotman School. The study examines an attempt by a large multinational garment retailer to increase wages at its suppliers’ factories by implementing both bottom-up (promoting worker participation) and top-down (changing pay systems) interventions.
The midyear meeting was held virtually from January 6 to 8.
