Corporate Finance and Financial Reporting

My research and my teaching connect both empirical corporate finance and financial accounting. Connecting both areas allows to develop insights on the impact of information and its processing in different financial markets. This fascination also materializes in my teaching in both finance and financial accounting and in my research that link both fields. I frequently choose banks and private corporations as my research subjects which provide rich empirical settings and twists.

I continuously strive for excellence in research. The publications in relevant high-quality journals such as Management Science, European Accounting Review, Journal of Business Venturing, Leadership Quarterly, and Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting, have a high impact, and my success in raising competitive external funds for research (e.g. from the Fritz-Thyssen foundation) is a rewarding and motivating recognition of my work.
