The development of Chinese empirical accounting research can be divided into three phases. Each phase has its different characteristics. The fields of Chinese empirical accounting research include： the efficient market, the choice of accounting policies, financial crisis warning, stock dividend policy, earnings management, capital structure, auditing opinions, asset reorganization and merger, international accounting harmonization. This paper tries to analyze some basic essential factors of Chinese empirical accounting research such as hypothesis, sample and data, methods, conclusion and so on. We find that it is necessary to strengthen empirical accounting research in order to make up the shortcomings of traditional normative research. However, the current research has some limitations. （1） Some Chinese empirical accounting articles directly select samples and data to test without literature reviews, theory analysis and hypothesis; （2） The time of selected samples is shot; （3） Some articles utilize variables to represent certain concepts; （4） Most of the models are literary models; （5） Some researches focus on model and fix quantify, sometimes neglect some factors; （6） Most researches lack great findings, some conclusions are even opposite.展开更多
