This article was originally published in 2011 in Behavioral Research in Accounting 23 (2): 1–25; DOI: 10.2308/bria-10071.
Based on the pattern of misconduct identified in the investigation summary, “Report of Judith A. Malone, Bentley University Ethics Officer, Concerning Dr. James E. Hunton (2014),” the October 2014 supplement to that report, and the co-authors' inability to produce data or other information supporting the existence of primary data or confirming how the study was conducted, the American Accounting Association, as publisher, is retracting this article. There were no findings or evidence that Dr. Hunton's co-authors were aware of or complicit in Dr. Hunton's misconduct.
