Dr. Edith Leung
Dr. Leung’s research, “Disclosures of alternative performance metrics: misleading or informative?”:
Managers often report adjusted “non-GAAP” performance measures that do not conform to existing accounting regulation. Regulators and media criticize these measures as being misleading to investors, although there is no concrete evidence to support this view. This proposal contributes to this debate by examining the usefulness of non-GAAP disclosures.
Dr. Christophe Lembregts
Dr. Lembregts’ research, “Improving Quantitative Decision Making”:
People’s lives are pervaded with quantitative information. Despite the widespread availability, individuals have great difficulty to make consistent decisions while relying on quantitative information. This project proposes a novel way to enhance understanding of quantitative information, how it could improve decision quality and delineate conditions under which it is effective.
