so what about the math requirements for empirical research?

You can choose accounting phd program that has a behavioral track, such as Drexel (Ha! advertising time). If you choose behavioral track, normally ANOVA and other simple statistical skills are needed. Accounting professors like to do experiments. However, there are some core courses you must take in year one, such as economics and statistics. So calculus is still compulsory although calculus is useless for your further research. 

Accounting Review is a top tier journal for behavioral track accounting. You can read some papers to understand the needs of accounting research. In addition, you can see which universities those professors are now. This information may help you target universities. Of course, the assumption is that those universities have behavioral track in accounting.

cey23213, thank you for your suggestion. If I have time and mood, I will. However, I have many research projects to do. And the first priority of my life is to do research.
