Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate in Accounting, Graduate School of Economic and Social Science at the University of Mannheim.

My research interests include

  • Financial accounting

  • Financial and non-financial reporting

  • Blockchain

  • Corporate Governance

In my job market paper, I investigate firms’ greenhouse gas emission investment and disclosure decisions. The analytical model provides testable hypotheses regarding firms’ different disclosure patterns. Moreover, it highlights that mandating firms to disclose carbon emissions may negatively affect emission abatement incentives.
