about me

Research Interests

My research covers two primary areas related to the application of the Institutional Economics framework to financial accounting. The first area focuses on regulatory institutions, where I study the political economy of accounting standard-setting and the use of accounting information by regulatory and political bodies. The second area focuses on the institutional foundations of accounting, such as the emergence and evolution of accounting conservatism.
