Edward Sul, PhD

I am an Associate Professor of Accounting at George Washington University. My research examines how information moves through capital markets, with a focus on international settings, regulation, disclosure, and corporate governance. I am also interested in behavioral biases in financial decision-making and information frictions that shape the production and processing of accounting information. My work has been published in Journal of Accounting and Economics, The Accounting Review, Management Science, Contemporary Accounting Research, and Review of Accounting Studies.

I am on the Editorial Board of Contemporary Accounting Research and serve as a track chair for the Hawaii Accounting Research Conference (HARC). I am an ad hoc reviewer for many academic journals, including Journal of Accounting and Economics, Review of Accounting Studies, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Contemporary Accounting Research, Journal of Accounting and Public Policy, Journal of Corporate Finance, and others.  

In 2026, I was a visiting scholar at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.

At George Washington University, I teach Introduction to Managerial Accounting at the undergraduate and graduate levels, Advanced Strategic Cost Management in the Master of Accountancy program, and a doctoral seminar on information in capital markets in the Accounting PhD program. 

I received a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master of Accounting from the University of Michigan, and a PhD in Accounting from the University of North Carolina.
