Research interests

My research focuses on governance, behavioral finance, and accounting education. Governance is essential across private and public sectors, shaping ethical and strategic decision-making. In behavioral finance, I am particularly interested in insider trading, financial distress, and stock repurchase motives. Those areas are also critical for family firms, where ownership concentration and succession dynamics heighten the need for accountability and long-term stability. In parallel, my work in accounting education aims to enhance professionalism, ethical awareness, and critical thinking among future professionals.
