Research
The Johnson School generates leading-edge knowledge, which it disseminates worldwide, not only through publications, but also by providing experts to leading professional organizations and businesses. One of the vehicles that allows businesses first or restricted access to new research and breakthrough knowledge are partnerships that also serve to benefit the school, perpetuating our top-level research and knowledge generation.
In addition to the Parker Center research powerhouse, Johnson School faculty provide empirical thought leadership in many areas of finance and accounting, and interact closely with industry associations and business organizations. Our accounting faculty consistently rates among the top ten in the country in output of cutting-edge research. Johnson School finance faculty are frequently interviewed on issues of shareholder-compensation practices, corporate governance, impact of taxation policies, international finance, analyst behavior and many other finance topics by such publications as the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Barron's, Money, Investor's Business Daily, Fortune, Forbes, and Worth.
