Yanting (Crystal) Shi

I am a PhD Candidate in Accounting at Stern School of Business, New York University.

Deeply fascinated by corporate governance, I am engaged in several research projects to understand how external (e.g., activist hedge funds) and internal (e.g., board of directors) corporate governance forces influence a firm’s business and social practices and hence affect its risk and value. I am also interested in accounting and labor studies.

My research has been published in Contemporary Accounting Research, invited to presentations at the Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) and the American Accounting Association (AAA) annual conferences, and funded by the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business.

I received a M.S. in Management Studies from MIT, an MBA and a B.A. in Accounting from Tsinghua University. Prior to joining Stern, I had seven years of work experience in public accounting and in corporate finance. I am also a CPA and a CMA.
