In supply chain regulation, my research broadly explores how corporations can take on a governance role when local institutions are weak. I find that only when complex local dynamics are kept in mind can corporations have positive impacts on local development.
In the accounting labor market, my research examines the differential role accountants play in developing countries and how international regulation impacts accounting networks.
In financial regulation, my research is centered around how bank and corporate misconduct influence the financial decision-making of local stakeholders.
