Propomos apresentar algumas reflex˜oes sobre a pesquisa causal na Contabilidade, com destaque para o problema da Endogeneidade. Procuramos discutir, de forma introdut´oria, a importˆancia dos quase-experimentos, especificamente de técnicas que podem ser solu¸c˜oes vi´aveis para muitos projetos de pesquisa na ´area. Dentre essas t´ecnicas, destacamos o desenho de Diferen¸ca-em-Diferen¸cas, o uso de Vari´aveis Instrumentais e o desenho de Regress˜ao Descont´ınua. Com isso, buscamos estimular a ado¸c˜ao de m´etodos mais rigorosos de identifica¸c˜ao, no intuito de elevar a preocupa¸c˜ao com a qualidade das pesquisas na nossa ´area e abrir, portanto, caminhos para um ambiente de pesquisa cont´abil mais s´olido e inovador.
