Multinational Business Review invites the submission of theoretical and empirical studies that develop and link current finance and accounting research topics with IB literature. The special issue
on “Striking a balance: Finance and accounting perspectives on international business research” will accept contributions originating from either of the finance, accounting, and IB research traditions, and encourages interdisciplinary submissions. Research
topics may include the role of financial structure for MNC strategy, profit-shifting activities in MNCs, or the internationalization of capital markets. The wide scope of the Special Issue is an attempt to encourage research contributions that not only address
hitherto unexplored issues within international business-related topics, but also provide an original framework which can challenge conventional approaches to international business research using rigorous methodologies developed in contemporary accounting
and finance research. Possible paper topics include, but are not limited to:
·
Current topics in managing and financing international business activities (e.g., Brexit, global protectionism, economic disintegration)
· Governance and international finance (e.g., risk behaviour, agency cost)
·
Institutional context and international finance (e.g., liability of foreignness in capital markets, local financial context, legitimacy, isomorphism)
· International capital structure and internal capital markets (e.g., diversification, international transfer pricing,
arbitrage, taxation)
· Ownership effects on internationalization (e.g., family ownership, institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds)
· Financial risk management in internationalization (e.g., hedging, trade finance, risk reporting)
· International strategic finance (e.g., listing location, location specific financial advantages, project finance,
syndication)
· Firm level issues in financing internationalization (e.g., SMEs, MNEs, EMNEs, born globals, export finance and FDI
finance, joint ventures)
· Integrating IB and Finance theories (e.g., TCE, RBV, OLI, real options, agency, and institutional theory).
·
The relationship between MNEs accounting practices, corporate governance and business strategy, including internationalisation strategy and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
· The impact of ethical accounting in MNEs
·
How do financial reporting attributes mitigate or exacerbate “foreign firm discount” and “home bias” in equity and debt markets?
· What are the challenges auditors face in auditing MNEs, and how do they tackle these challenges? Does audit quality
vary with culture, religion and trust?
· Strategic, financial and managerial antecedents of the adoption of
o national accounting practices
o international accounting practices
o voluntary reporting practices (ESG, CSR)
·
Strategic, financial and managerial consequences of the adoption of
o national accounting practices
o international accounting practices
o voluntary reporting practices (ESG, CSR)
· Cross-country
o determinants of accounting standards’ compliance
o differences in financial and of accounting practices
o mobility, diffusion and enforcement of accounting practices
o capital market risks and opportunities (debt, equity, internal external)
o accounting strategies (transfer pricing, tax avoidance)
