Further, the personal data are anonymized in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union and used in strict confidence for research purposes only. Any inference to individuals or organizations is excluded from the statistical analysis.
This effect depends on the individuals' maintenance of the data of the publicly accessible profiles.
All the percentages are rounded up.
We use the date of the thesis instead of the date of graduation for the statistical analysis, since more data are available for this. To simplify the description of the findings, we refer to “graduation years” in the following.
Following the definition of the European Commission (2003) , we use the number of employees as a criterion for classification. Accordingly, we distinguish large firms (≥250 employees) from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs; <250 employees).

This chapter presents a selection of additional research topics associated with corporate finance, corporate governance, and accounting. We begin with questions of how fundamental corporate information is translated into market returns and what is its relevance to company valuation. These are subjects of the “value relevance of companies’ financial statements,” “microeconometrics for equity valuation,” and “fundamental strategies.” The second part of this chapter presents several topics demonstrating other applications of microeconometric methodology: mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, and dividend payouts.

This thesis studies several topical areas in empirical financial accounting. In the first chapter, I investigate whether investors are willing to trade off wealth for societal benefits. This chapter is coauthored with my co-advisor David F. Larcker and is forthcoming in the Journal of Accounting and Economics. In the second chapter, I examine how an increase in tick size affects algorithmic trading, fundamental information acquisition, and the price discovery process around earnings announcements. This chapter is coauthored with my co-advisor Charles M.C. Lee and is forthcoming in The Accounting Review. In the third chapter, I explore the growing market for startup employee equity using proprietary data from one of the largest of these marketplaces. This chapter is under revision for submission to a top accounting or finance journal.Chapter 1 investigates whether investors are willing to trade off wealth for societal benefits. We take advantage of unique institutional features of the municipal securities market to provide insight into this question. Since 2013, states and other governmental entities have issued over $23 billion of green bonds to fund eco-friendly projects. Comparing green securities to nearly identical securities issued for non-green purposes by the same issuers on the same day, we observe economically identical pricing for green and non-green issues. In contrast to a number of recent theoretical and experimental studies, we find that in real market settings investors appear entirely unwilling to forgo wealth to invest in environmentally sustainable projects. When risk and payoffs are held constant and are known to investors ex-ante, investors view green and non-green securities by the same issuer as almost exact substitutes. Thus, we conclude the greenium is essentially zero.Chapter 2 explores how an increase in tick size affects algorithmic trading, fundamental information acquisition, and the price discovery process around earnings announcements. Leveraging the SEC's randomized Tick Size Pilot experiment, we show a tick size increase results in a decline across four commonly-used algorithmic trading proxies. This decrease in algorithmic trading is accompanied by a sharp drop in abnormal volatility and volume around earnings announcements. More importantly, we find increased fundamental information acquisition in the preannouncement period. Specifically, we show: (1) treatment firms' preannouncement returns better anticipate next quarter's standardized unexpected earnings; (2) these firms experience an increase in EDGAR web traffic prior to earnings announcements; and (3) they exhibit a drop in price synchronicity with index returns. Taken together, our evidence suggests that while an increase in tick size reduces algorithmic trading and abnormal market reaction after earnings announcements, it also increases fundamental information acquisition activities prior to earnings announcements.Chapter 3 examines new marketplaces for startup employee equity using proprietary data from an organization that I refer to as "The Platform." I document that private company employees have sold billions of dollars of pre-IPO equity to outside investors over the last decade with generally positive results for buyers. Trading activity is concentrated in the largest and most successful private companies where information on company prospects may be most readily available to investors. My evidence suggests that employees access this market for either risk management or liquidity reasons rather than for purposes of informed trading. Market-adjusted returns are significant, and risk appears to be priced by investors. Moreover, my evidence demonstrates that these employees are not selling their position before adverse information events. Several alternative motivations for employee sales are considered. Tax-based trade motivations have the most empirical support.

Artificial Intelligence has been widely discussed in accounting for some years now, this study examined the level of awareness and perceptions on the use of artificial intelligence in accounting among accounting professionals in accounting, it also examined if the individual characteristics of accountants affect their perception on the use of artificial intelligence in accounting. A random sample of 399 Accounting Professionals in Nigeria was used in the study. The study adopted a between group design, and an independent samples T-test, and one way between group Anova was used to test for the effect of accountants’ characteristics on their perception. The study found that there is a high level of awareness on the use of artificial intelligence among accounting professionals in Nigeria, but their knowledge is mainly theoretical, gotten from personal readings and the media. Overall, the accounting professionals have a positive view on the use of artificial intelligence in accounting with the majority showing support for the development of AI in accounting, and minimal worries about job displacement due to AI. The results indicated that male accountants tend to hold a more favourable opinion of AI compared to female accountants, while accountants of different ages, level of education, years of experience, area of specialization, qualification status and professional bodies do not differ in their perceptions on the use of artificial intelligence in accounting. The results of the study also highlighted the need for reform in accounting education and continuous personal development for accountants to adapt to emerging trends.

Hence, even though the normal science tradition is perhaps gaining ground in accounting research exploring the "performativity thesis", it has not yet resulted in a situation where abstract theorizing is crowding out detailed empirical attention to the processes through which accounting representations become more or less self-fulfilling.
