Research and Teaching Interests
My research focuses on how corporations communicate with information intermediaries and the capital markets. Using primarily quantitative empirical research methods, I examine
-
how employees, regulations, institutions, and governance shape corporate disclosure,
-
how corporate disclosure choices influence the work that information intermediaries do, and
-
how financial regulations change the incentives that information intermediaries have.
In line with my research, I teach financial reporting and corporate disclosure topics at undergraduate and PhD level.
