We intended to provide a comprehensive overview of behavioral accounting research. For this purpose, 371 articles published in two specialized journals of behavioral accounting - "Behavioral Research in Accounting" and "Advances in Accounting Behavioral Research"- have been analyzed. These journals are indexed on the Scopus database and are among the specialist journals ranked by the Australian Business Deans Council. Co-word analysis and social network analysis have been used as the main method. Our analysis shows that emerging issues in recent years in the field of behavioral research have focused on "auditing", "corporate governance", "fraud" and "ethics". Findings show that the article "Online instrument delivery and participant recruitment services: Emerging opportunities for behavioral accounting research" with 167 citations is the most cited behavioral research article. Wicky Arnold is the top author in terms of number of articles with 12 articles. The United States is the top country in the world with 179 articles and 2,210 citations, and the two top universities in the world with 15 articles are the Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Central Florida. This paper is the first study that conduct a bibliometric analysis of behavioral accounting research focusing on two specialized journals of behavioral accounting.

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of the corporate life cycle stages on the cost of equity of firms listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange. In this study we used Dickinson's Model (2011) to determine the corporate life cycle stages and Gordon Model to calculate cost of equity. In this study, we first took samples using the cash flow statement data (including cash flow from operating activities, cash flow from investing activities and cash flow from finance activities) and separated the firms in the growth stage, maturity stage and decline stage, then, using multivariate regression analysis and mean comparison tests, hypotheses have been studied and tested. The results of 110 firms (990 company - year) during the period from 2006 to 2014 shows that the firms cost of equity in different stages of the life cycle (growth, maturity, decline) are significantly different. The results also show that in the decline stage the cost of equity is at the highest level and in the maturity stage it is at the lowest level.

The purpose of the present study is to investigate the relationship between information asymmetry and mispricing of accruals in Tehran Exchange Market. hence, we hypothesize that there is a significant positive relationship between the level of information asymmetry and mispricing of accruals. we implement Mishkin test and classification of portfolios method to respectively investigate whether there is any mispricing of accruals and its relationship with information asymmetry. Furthermore, the indirect balance sheet approach and bid-ask spread have been utilized to measure respectively accruals and information asymmetry. Thus, information of 82 entities during the time span of 5 years between 2008 to 2012 have been analyzed to test our hypothesis. The results depicts that as the level of information asymmetry enhances, the difference between coefficients of predictions and evaluation of accruals in the Mishkin test increases. In other words, as the level of information asymmetry increases, the mispricing of accruals intensifies.
