abstract = {This study applies to the statistical cost accounting model to capture the impact of the Greek economic crisis on the returns of the Greek construction sector using the published financial statements of the construction firms listed on the Athens Exchange during 2005-2011. The evidence from our analysis suggests that the construction sector has been affected by the Greek crisis since there is a great decrease of the construction activities. According to our results, our findings support the theoretical model and reveals that there is a negative impact on the earnings due to the underemployment of the fixed assets. Additionally, we find that the cash and cash equivalent items do not actually help our sample firms to produce profit and the most expensive item of the balance sheet is the non financial short term liabilities.},
