Dear Colleagues,

Digital transformation, environmental, and social governance are key determinants underlying business model transformation towards sustainability and circular economy. This Special Issue aims to explore what such transformation means in the context of revisiting accounting and finance curricula and their impact on students’ learning and ambitions. This Special Issue provides a vehicle for empirical studies and conceptual frameworks available for educators for knowledge exchange that advances accounting and finance education.

We welcome manuscripts that are relevant to contemporary issues in accounting and finance education, including uses of technology, teaching and learning strategies, assessment strategies, curriculum, and faculty-related issues.

This paper examines the little-known connection between econometrics and accounting invoked by Paweł Ciompa, who first introduced the term econometrics in 1910. Since then, research in accounting and in statistical (econometric) analysis has developed in parallel. It is argued that contemporary accounting research is methodologically closer to econometrics than ever before. This paper concentrates on the accounting origins of econometrics and on the econometric methodologies currently in use in accounting research, beginning with Paweł Ciompa’s introduction of the term econometrics in accounting. The major contribution of this paper is a review of the occurrence of econometric methods in five leading journals in accounting research. The author identified 246 papers, and these were examined regarding the use of econometric methods. Two-thirds of the papers used methodologies that belong to econometrics—specifically, to financial microeconometrics. The most common methods were panel data models, qualitative variables models, and causality models. Full article

Given Romania’s relatively poor performance from a financial literacy perspective, many public and private entities are currently implementing various initiatives to address this problem. Assuming that financial education projects are a source of insights into broader societal issues, we analyze a sample of financial education projects to discern the issues of societal transformation reflected in their contents. We collected data from financial education websites and analyzed them through qualitative content analysis. We identify and discuss several manifest and latent themes and note the absence of others commonly found in the literature. The emphasis in the manifest themes falls on offering calibrated advice to a public with a relatively low level of financial literacy, prone to unhealthy behaviors such as consumerism, impulse buying, and indebtedness. Several latent concerns concentrate on the changing economic and social landscape, the fear that some traits of national character may hinder the individual appetite for adaptation, and the threat of an economic crisis. The needs of vulnerable groups are rarely addressed, while topics such as the ethical dimension of consumption, environmental and sustainability issues, and gender stereotypes are lacking. We thus find that the financial education initiatives in Romania address an underdeveloped range of topics. Full article
