Department: Accounting
Research Focus: Qualitative Disclosures, Textual Analysis, Informational Efficiency
Potential Student Project(s):
I study a wide variety of emerging accounting topics, some of the projects I’m currently working on include:
- Understanding the market impact of reporting on green initiatives
- Exploring the motivations for hospitals to merge
- Document student perceptions of accounting careers
- Measure the impact of President Trump’s speaking style on market efficiency
Attributes/skills/background sought in undergraduate:
- Curiosity about how information moves financial markets
- Strong reading and time management skills
- Organization and time management
- Desire to understand analytics
Mentoring Plan: The student researcher will work 5 h/week on the project including a 1-on-1 interaction with me for at least 1 hour/week. My preference is for an in-person meeting, but I am willing to be flexible and meet via Zoom. I will help you use common techniques (Kinney Questions and Libby Boxes) to read, summarize, and understand accounting research. These research skills will improve your ability to understand and analyze a wide variety of problems.
