Abstract

<p>This paper firstly evaluates the current status of experimental research in accounting research and various accounting fields and how experimental accounting is looking to the future from the perspective of “future-orientation”, “causal relationships”, and “unified strategy”. Next, we examine the significance of using pre-registration and online labor markets, which are attracting attention not only as new methodological initiatives but also for their potential to increase reproducibility and to solve external validity problems.</p><p>Furthermore, regarding the recent trend toward online experiments using Amazon Mechanical Turk, SurveyMonkey Audience, Qualtrics, etc., which are highly anticipated new research platforms for overcoming the problem of external validity, we compare these platforms in terms of cost, flexibility, and accessibility to interest groups. The latest experimental accounting research such as readability experiments, which have been increasing in recent years, is also reviewed. Finally, we review the prospects for interactive online experiments using tools such as “oTree”, which is gaining profile as a future research platform.</p>
