Dr Dargenidou has been involved in various research projects in the area of market based accounting, that investigate:

- the diversity of institutional factors across European jurisdictions as a determinant of market participants‘ accounting earnings expectations;
- the role of disclosure in assisting market participants to form expectations of future earnings by observing the accrual content of reported earnings;

- the impact of the switch to IFRS in the European Union on the comparability of market participants‘ earnings expectations for firms in different jurisdictions;
