Michael Casey

Michael Casey serves as Professor of Finance at the University of Central Arkansas' College of Business, maintaining an active research and teaching presence with office COB 211L and contact details mcasey@uca.edu/(501) 450-5334. His September 2023 vita reflects ongoing scholarly engagement across finance and business education domains.

Research interests demonstrate exceptional breadth through three interconnected pillars: Corporate Finance (dividend policy across insurance/oil/gas sectors, corporate governance, ESG integration), Financial Innovation (fintech/neobank risks, digital misinformation challenges, international ADR performance), and Educational Transformation (online pedagogy, student video creation, pandemic-responsive teaching). His work consistently bridges theoretical finance with practical business applications, particularly examining how social factors (medical marijuana policies, pandemic disruptions) reshape financial decision-making.

Publication trends since 2018 reveal strategic evolution from traditional finance topics toward emerging digital frontiers. While maintaining core expertise in dividend policy (22% of recent articles), he increasingly addresses fintech disruptions (15% of output) and educational technology (20% of work). Notably, his 2023 Salmonella outbreak study indicates interdisciplinary reach beyond finance, suggesting collaborative work in public health. The consistent focus on measurement frameworks—whether for investor sentiment indices or academic integrity tools—highlights methodological rigor across diverse subjects.

No scientific awards are documented in the available materials, though his sustained publication record across finance and business education journals demonstrates significant scholarly contribution.

Advising activities and grant funding remain unspecified in current documentation. Similarly, while his research implies engagement with financial databases and educational technology platforms, no dedicated labs or research teams are explicitly referenced in the provided materials.
