Current position

I am a Postdoc at the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Basel, Switzerland.
 

Fields of interest

• Disclosure Theory
• Rational Inattention
• Financial Intermediation
   

Research

My research addresses the intersection of managerial and financial accounting. Using theoretical economic modeling, I study how the corporate information environment affects managerial decision-making. Policy implications must be considered carefully as changes to the corporate information environment result in real effects. My research addresses the following questions:

• How does the mandatory disclosure of forward-looking information affect financial intermediation?
• How should expected credit loss impairment rules be designed optimally?
• What are the consequences of increased disclosure regulation on bank managers' propensity to disclose forward-looking information voluntarily?
• How does information aggregation affect disclosure informativeness if managers are subject to rational inattention?
• How does investor inattention affect managers' investment behavior, earnings management, and corporate transparency?
   

Work in Progress

• How Mandatory Disclosure of Forward-Looking Information Affects Financial Intermediation
• Optimal Expected Credit Loss Impairment Rules
• The Interplay of Mandatory and Voluntary Disclosure in Financial Intermediation (with Sabine Böckem)
• Reliability-Relevance Trade-offs With an Attention-Constrained Manager (with Ulrich Schäfer)
• Investor Inattention, Reporting Bias, Investment and Manager's Optimal Choice of Investor Disclosure Processing Cost
