Research Statement

My current research interests include accounting disclosure, particularly environmental disclosures, and stock market efficiency as well as the effect of information attributes on how information is incorporated in valuation and forecasts, with particular emphasis on the cost of equity capital. In addition, I have begun to work in areas related to International Financial Reporting Standards and the potential impact on users and preparers in the US and around the world.
