Research Statement
My research centers on the role of accounting in the allocation of capital and labor to productive uses. Although the capital and labor markets are intertwined, most prior research in accounting has focused on how reporting and disclosure incentives in the capital market affect investors’ decisions. The distinctive feature of my work is that it explicitly integrates the capital and labor market perspectives, exploring how corporate reporting and disclosure influence employers’ and employees’ decisions and affect the functioning of labor markets as well as capital markets.
