His research focuses on the intersection of macroeconomic factors and financial reporting practices, examining how economic conditions influence earnings quality, disclosure patterns, and capital raising activities across firms.
Dr. Schonberger earned his Ph.D. in Accounting from the University of Southern California and completed both his undergraduate and master's degrees in accounting at the University of Colorado at Boulder.

His research interests center on how firms' accounting practices respond to macroeconomic conditions, with particular focus on how capital-raising activities shape accrual policies and corporate disclosure. He investigates how market participants interpret and utilize firm-level accounting information in relation to macroeconomic indicators such as GDP growth and interest rate changes. His work bridges traditional accounting research with broader economic contexts, providing insights into the dynamic relationship between financial reporting and economic conditions.
Dr. Schonberger's recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on disclosure practices, earnings quality, and the information environment, with increasing attention to regulatory impacts and methodological innovations.
