Research Interests
Managerial/Financial Accounting
My primary research objective is to explore the complex interplay between accounting and critical societal events. I am passionate about identifying variations in economic forces underlying societal changes, utilizing relevant theories to understand how management control systems as well as resource allocations within the realms of managerial and financial accounting adjust to such variations, and applying novel yet rigorous empirical design to present robust evidence. Through my research, I aim to provide valuable insights and practical implications for policymakers, managers, employees, and fellow researchers.
