A Review of the Accounting Literature on Innovation
We review the accounting literature on innovation, focusing on the attributes of innovation that collectively make it unique from other resources: novelty, nonrivalry, and partial excludability. These unique attributes help innovation drive economic growth but create information-based challenges that accounting researchers are well-suited to address.

For each of these literatures we identify challenges and opportunities for future research.
