{"product_id":"using-python-for-text-analysis-in-accounting-research-9781680837605","title":"Using Python for Text Analysis in Accounting Research","description":"Using Python for Text Analysis in Accounting Research provides an interactive step-by-step framework for analyzing spoken or written language for faculty and PhD students in social sciences. The goal is to demonstrate how textual analysis can enhance research by automatically extracting new and previously unknown information from voluminous disclosures, news articles, and social media posts. Materials are presented in a way that allows the reader to learn about a textual analysis concept or technique and also replicate it by doing. The monograph begins by showing how to install and use Python, a popular general purpose programming language, reviewing Python's basic programming syntax, operators, data types, functions, and so on; allowing the readers to familiarize themselves with the programming environment first. It discusses the Jupyter notebook, which is an open-source web application that allows creating, running, and testing your Python code interactively. And the monograph introduces the Pandas package for working with tabular data that aids researchers as they convert unstructured textual data into structured, tabular data. The authors introduce regular expressions which represent patterns for matching different elements in texts. They then proceed with the discussion and coding of different textual analysis methods used in accounting and finance studies. Finally, the monograph provides an overview of web scraping and file processing features in Python with a focus on downloading EDGAR filings and identifying specific sections in them. Taken together, the first five chapters of this monograph will help readers get started with Python and prepare for writing their own code.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14160724\"\u003eVic Anand\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14160725\"\u003eKhrystyna Bochkay\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14160726\"\u003eRoman Chychyla\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Now Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781680837605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1680837605\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-BUS\"\u003eBusiness \u0026amp; Economics\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-BUS001000\"\u003eAccounting | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Now Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44438565454061,"sku":"9781680837605","price":132.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_c501a2c8-28e3-422d-a0a8-80cc6c25ee1c.jpg?v=1700148880","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/using-python-for-text-analysis-in-accounting-research-9781680837605","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
