Areas of Research
My research examines how companies communicate about their intangible investments through narrative disclosures and how these communications impact market uncertainty and firm valuation. I investigate the relationship between intangible investments and market dynamics, focusing particularly on how companies' narrative disclosures about their human capital, business relationships, and organizational processes mediate this relationship. Using advanced natural language processing techniques like topic modeling, I analyze complex financial narratives to understand their value relevance and impact on information asymmetry. This work bridges the gap between traditional accounting measures and the increasing importance of intangible assets in today's knowledge economy, providing insights for both academic understanding and practical applications in financial reporting.
