Chongho Kim

Chongho Kim joined New York University Stern School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Accounting in September 2020.

His research combines theories from information economics with empirical methodologies in various manners, including structural estimation, to examine the interrelationship of financial information such as spillover effects of mandatory financial reporting and disagreement underlying analysts’ reports.
