My area of specialty is in financial statement analysis and financial accounting. I developed a method for disaggregating a firm's earnings to quantify the components that are attributable to market-wide information, industry information, and firm idiosyncratic earnings. I use this disaggregation technique to re-investigate issues to further our understanding of the role of information transfers, relaxing the assumption that a firm's financial statements arise from an informational vacuum. The ability to quantify the firm idiosyncratic component of earnings also enables further investigation of decisions made by corporate managers.

 

Through research, teaching and the supervision of research students, it is my aim to address the role that accounting plays in informing capital market participants.
