Environmental issues and accounting

EDITORIAL

Environmental Issues and Accounting Lawrence A. Gordon and Stephen E. Loeb

This special theme issue on environmental issues and accounting benefited from the work of Professors David Shields and Germain Boer, both of whom served as Special Associate Editors for this issue. We thank both David and Germain for their efforts. Some manuscripts relating to this topic are still under review at the Journal of Accounting and Public Policy. As David and Germain suggest in their accompanying Guest Editorial (Shields and Boer 1997, pp. 120-122), we encourage further submission of papers on the topic of environmental issues and accounting. In the future, we hope to publish other accepted papers on this topic in regular issues a n d / o r another special theme issue (see Shields and Boer 1997, p. 120).
