摘要
Machine learning has been growing in importance in empirical accounting research. In this opinion piece, I review the unique challenges of going beyond prediction and leveraging these tools into generalizable conceptual insights. Taking as springboard “Machine learning improves accounting estimates” presented at the 2019 Conference of the Review of Accounting Studies, I propose a conceptual framework with various testable implications. I also develop implementation considerations panels with accounting data, such as colinearities between accounting numbers or suitable choices of validation and test samples to mitigate between-sample correlations. Lastly, I offer a personal viewpoint toward embracing the many low-hanging opportunities to bring the methodology into major unanswered accounting questions.
