Personal profile

Research interests

Eddy Cardinaels is full Professor of accounting at Tilburg University. His work focuses on experimental and archival research in accounting. He studies the conditions under which decision makers can benefit from recent accounting developments and management accounting systems (e.g. AI in performance evaluations, Employee Giving Programs, CSR in competive markets, Automatic Summarization). Other work explores how social motives, honesty and trust (between superiors, subordinates or business partners) enter into crucial decisions such as capital budgeting, investment decisions, and inter-firm negotiations. Besides this, he also studies corporate governance (e.g. excess CEO compensation, ESG contracting, social connections), management issues in the health care sector and audit behavior of junior auditors and the link to audit quality. His work has been published in leading accounting journals such as The Accounting Review, Journal of Accounting Research, Contemporary Accounting Research, Accounting, Organizations, and Society, and Review of Accounting Studies and health care management journals such as Health Policy. He served as editor for the Accounting Review (2014-2017), AOS (2018-2020), JMAR (2019-2022) and Accounting Horizons (2021-current). He is further an editorial board member for the journals Contemporary Accounting Research and Auditing: a journal of practice and theory.
