Featured Work
- Unlike in shareholder-driven markets, it can be a challenge for firms to communicate with a diverse set of stakeholders in stakeholder-oriented markets such as China. The development of the Annual Transparency Index and White Paper and the Best Listed Company Award which recognizes companies for their transparent information disclosure practices is our effort to promote better governance in China.
- “Gender and beauty biases exist in our society regardless of how competitive an industry is, and stereotypes and bias may be rooted deeply in culture and legal environment.” See our study on the all-star analysts vote and the findings are featured by the Institutional Investor magazine on October 4th, 2019. The paper is forthcoming at the Review of Accounting Studies.
