Fourth Annual Labor and Accounting Group Conference
The Labor and Accounting Group (LAG) is a research association that encourages the development and dissemination of academic research at the intersection of accounting and labor economics.
Jointly with the University at Buffalo School of Management, LAG will host its fourth annual conference (in person) on April 19-20, 2024, in Buffalo, NY. The conference is open to faculty and PhD students by invitation only.
We invite submissions of high-quality, unpublished empirical and theoretical research in the area of labor or personnel economics and accounting. We favor early-stage research, particularly from untenured faculty (or PhD students), that will benefit from a workshop-style presentation to our audience. Papers can be empirical, archival, experimental, field-based or theoretical. To submit a paper, visit the Submissions tab.
The University at Buffalo, New York’s flagship and a member of the Association of American Universities, is consistently recognized as one of the world’s most exceptional, most affordable universities. The UB School of Management, now in its 100th year, is known for its emphasis on real-world learning, community and economic impact, and the global perspective of its faculty, students and alumni.

We invite submissions of high-quality, unpublished empirical and theoretical research in the area of labor or personnel economics and accounting. We favor early-stage research, particularly from untenured faculty (or PhD students), that will benefit from a workshop-style presentation to our audience. Papers can be empirical archival, experimental, field-based, or theoretical.
To submit a paper, email your paper in PDF format to laboraccounting@googlegroups.com. The submission deadline is Friday, December 29, 2023. There is no submission fee.
We expect the conference agenda to include traditional paper sessions as well as at least one session devoted to presentations of early-stage research. The latter are shorter presentations of more preliminary work. Submission of a brief proposal (one to two pages in PDF format) is sufficient for consideration for an early-stage research session. For the more traditional paper sessions, you should submit a complete paper titled, but without author identifiers.
Members of the program committee will review all submissions, and we expect to announce the final program and send out conference invitations by late January 2024.
The conference is open to faculty and PhD students by invitation only. We expect to send out conference invitations in January 2024.
We will publish and share this list of participants in February 2024 once papers, invitations and registrations are completed.
