We show evidence that central VC firms achieve superior performance as they obtain better access to deal flow and provide more value-added services to portfolio companies. We demonstrate that the positive value of social network centrality is not driven by the mutual existence of investment networks built upon historical investment relationships. Importantly, our results suggest that social networks are one of the key drivers of investment networks.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"34 2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143736555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extent of the home bias effect among technology entrepreneurs varies and is notably linked to their social capital. When a technology entrepreneur has high “old” social capital, the home bias is strengthened and aligned with a preference-based interpretation. In contrast, technology entrepreneurs' excessive capabilities of creating “new” social capital help mitigate the home bias, reduce the dependence on local investors, and promote more diversified investment decisions, which supports an information-based interpretation. Evidence also reveals that technology entrepreneurs’ home country levels of financial inclusion and investor protection influence the link between home bias and crowdfunding outcomes, indicating that the economic benefits generated in fintech are heterogeneous across different countries.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143672829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As sustainability remains an evolving global discussion, teaching it requires a shift from traditional, didactic approaches to accounting education. Paulo Freire's dialogical approach offers a valuable framework, assuming educators have the critical consciousness and pedagogical skills to co-create knowledge with learners. However, there is limited insight into educators' views on sustainability in accounting—an essential perspective for fostering critical consciousness—and their readiness for a dialogical teaching approach. These gaps present challenges to promoting sustainability through accounting education. This exploratory study adopts a phenomenographic approach to gain insights through semi-structured interviews with UK accounting academics, applying Freire's theoretical lens to deepen the analysis. The results reveal qualitatively different ways in which educators perceive sustainability in accounting, offering novel insights into accounting education and making an initial step toward fostering critical consciousness. Findings indicate that educators may lack the pedagogical skills necessary for a dialogical approach, often assuming roles as knowledge distributors rather than co-creators. This highlights the need to strengthen pedagogical capacity in order to move beyond traditional didactic teaching methods.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143672837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These platforms alleviate the distance-related frictions typical of traditional early-stage finance. Despite their global breadth, however, our knowledge of the internationalization of equity crowdfunding platforms remains limited. Drawing upon an international longitudinal dataset of 317 equity crowdfunding platforms observed over a 15-year period, our study investigates the impact of their internationalization on performance. Our findings reveal that international platforms outperform domestic ones as they mobilize a larger pool of investors. This result stems from their stronger engagement with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, which enhances their attractiveness to investors.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143627469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By employing eight portfolio optimization techniques, we find that incorporating green assets leads to statistically significant improvement in the Sharpe ratio across different investment horizons and risk preferences. The Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, and return-loss demonstrate improvement as investment horizon lengthens. Over the long-run horizon, green assets are more beneficial for risk-tolerant investors compared to risk-averse investors. The Data Envelopment Analysis confirms that green assets contribute to a more pronounced improvement in efficiency for risk-tolerant investors.

Our findings reveal that changes in the central bank's policy rate have a statistically significant and economically important counter-cyclical effect on DeFi lending rates and DeFi asset growth. Specifically, an increase in the federal funds rate leads to a decline in DeFi asset growth. This outcome challenges the perceived independence of DeFi from traditional financial systems, suggesting the existence of a “decentralization illusion.” Notably, the results show that during periods of higher DeFi growth, the effects of the DeFi lending rate and investor attention on DeFi returns are significantly more pronounced. This is unlike the magnitude of the effect of the central bank's policy rate. The findings are robust to endogeneity tests.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143570495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the space constraints increasingly facing journal articles, this requires a delicate balance between succinct mobilisation of general principles, discussion of how these relate to the situational specifics of field setting, research question and the many skilful practices that make up individual field studies. This is particularly challenging for emerging qualitative scholars who have little direct experience to draw on in striking such a balance. To support them in this challenge we propose the benefits of “instructively selective elaboration” as an approach to writing method sections. We argue that such an approach has the potential to earn a sense of trustworthiness of individual studies, but further to also contribute to field level discussions about situationally and methodologically appropriate choices in qualitative accounting research.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143477835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low-wage workers were disproportionately affected by wage cuts, prompting governments worldwide to introduce wage subsidy programs. One of these schemes was Australia's JobKeeper program. Despite initial praise, the initiative was later blamed for intensifying inequities. This paper draws on a Social Semiotic Heteroglossic approach and conducts a social listening analysis to explore public positions on accounting and accountability implications of the scheme on inequalities. Findings from Facebook media articles and comments reveal that public relied extensively on accounting discourse to denounce the scheme as inequitable and demand accountability. Accounting discourses were also used to admonish companies that profited from public funds. Importantly, the positions taken by commenters influenced the position in subsequent articles, prompting journalists to focus on the unequal treatment of larger corporations versus small businesses and welfare recipients. This paper highlights how the public leverages accounting to drive social change and advocate for equitable policies. Further, the paper provides a roadmap for accounting scholars to harness insights from social media. It introduces a theoretical framework for analysing how diverse voices utilise accounting to perceive, resist and challenge formal accountability.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143477845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While much existing literature focuses on public blockchain governance, fewer investigate governance mechanisms of private and consortium blockchains, increasingly prevalent in society. We explore how blockchain systems enact governance using Beck et al.’s (2018) framework examining decision rights, accountability, and incentives. Interviews with eighteen blockchain experts reveal that public blockchains offer greater decision rights, less accountability and emphasise intrinsic incentives. In contrast, private and consortium blockchains adopt hierarchical governance where central entities regulate access, decision-making and behavioural norms. These systems prioritise extrinsic incentives and accountability than public blockchains. Our findings challenge the view of blockchain as purely decentralised, instead offering evidence of hybridised structures in practice. We also extend Beck et al.’s framework by studying three blockchain types and propose a systems and structure-based rationale for control in blockchains, as opposed to trust-based mechanisms (Pflueger et al. (2022)). Finally, we offer a variation on how responsibility and accountability depart, beyond extant MA studies (Burkert et al., 2011; Giraud et al., 2008) - suggesting that openness does not necessarily equate to enhanced accountability. These insights are crucial for understanding blockchain governance and have important implications for digital systems integration in organisations.","PeriodicalId":501001,"journal":{"name":"The British Accounting Review","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143418537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
