Research Interests
Matt's research interests include corporate disclosure policy, regulation and strategy. His current research focuses on financial instruments disclosures specifically and the interplay between full, partial and non-compliance with requirements and the interpretation of any breaches. Matt also has a number of projects on-going investigating other disclosure issues both in a mandatory disclosure environment and a voluntary one.
