My research examines the determinants, measurements, and market implications of corporate disclosures of risk-relevant information. I make extensive use of machine learning techniques to analyze how managers acquire risk information from their interactions with informed market participants and incorporate such information into their risk disclosures. My papers have appeared in top journals such as The Accounting Review, Review of Accounting Studies and Journal of Business Finance and Accounting. See more details on my Personal website.
