Ideas:
“  My research addresses the intersection of managerial and financial accounting. Using economic models, I study how managers’ explicit and implicit incentives affect their discretionary reporting choices. Accounting theory should identify guidelines for firms and regulators to create an efficient disclosure environment. Ongoing developments towards stakeholder reporting and digitalization challenge our understanding and call for innovative studies to discover the economic forces at work.  ”
