Cong Tao

Welcome

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Accounting at Lancaster University Management School. I joined Lancaster in 2024 after completing a PhD in Accounting at ESSEC Business School. 

My research focuses on corporate disclosure. I use archival data and natural language processing techniques to examine how various forms of corporate disclosure, such as financial and ESG reports, are influenced by retail and institutional investors, and how corporate disclosure plays a role in investment decisions or information intermediaries' outputs.
