Lori Olsen, assistant professor of accounting, and Peggy Anderson, associate professor of accounting, will present a paper at the Allied Academies Spring 2010 International Conference in New Orleans, April 14-17.
They will present "Corporate Social and Financial Performance: a Canonical Correlation Analysis" in the Internet Division, which allows them to receive comments from participants not attending the conference in person. The intent is to save universities the cost of travel to the conference.
The paper also was accepted for publication in the Academy of Accounting and Financial Studies Journal.
Olsen and Anderson also won a Distinguished Research Award because the paper was in the top quartile of the approximately 200 papers submitted.
