Key themes include the motivations behind CPA, the role of CEO personality traits in corporate decision-making, and the efficacy of CSR initiatives in mitigating agency problems.
Recent Research Trends: His publications emphasize CPA’s dual role as both a strategic tool and ethical dilemma, with recent works analyzing narcissistic CEO behavior, regulatory impacts on firm performance, and CSR’s influence on managerial incentives. Collaborations with scholars like Jinkyung Kim and Jason Thor reveal a focus on quantitative empirical studies.
