I am an Assistant Professor of Accounting at Binghamton University’s School of Management. My research lies at the intersection of financial accounting, taxation, macro-accounting, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. I am particularly interested in how accounting information shapes economic outcomes and policy. Recent projects explore ESG rating competition, the impact of tariffs on U.S. firms, and the role of tax-related disclosures in forecasting GDP growth. My work has been published in the Journal of Accounting Research and presented at leading conferences including the Financial Accounting and Reporting (FARS) Midyear Meeting, the UNC Tax Symposium, and the Hawaii Accounting Research Conference.

Before joining Binghamton, I earned my Ph.D. in Business Administration (Accounting) from Duke University, where my dissertation examined the connection between deferred tax asset valuation allowances and macroeconomic growth. I also hold an M.A. in Economics from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, where I completed the Honors Program for Academic Excellence, and a B.A. in Economics and Management from the Open University of Israel, graduating summa cum laude. My earlier professional experience includes research roles at the Israel Tax Authority and economic policy think tanks, where my work informed decisions on taxation, tariffs, and social investment policy.

I have taught courses in financial and managerial accounting, cost accounting, economics, and finance at both undergraduate and graduate levels. At Binghamton, I have received outstanding student evaluations (average rating of 4.9/5) and was honored with the Patty Bloomer SOM Faculty Award for innovative use of artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching and student learning. I am committed to making complex accounting concepts accessible and relevant by connecting theory to practice and equipping students with the analytical tools needed for professional success.

My service extends to my department, university, and the profession. At Binghamton, I have served on the School of Management’s Undergraduate Committee, Accounting Advisory Council, and faculty search committee. At the professional level, I have reviewed for top conferences including the FARS Midyear Meeting, the European Accounting Association Annual Congress, and the Hawaii Accounting Research Conference.

Beyond research and teaching, I am passionate about bridging the gap between academia and policy, and I continue to engage with questions at the heart of accounting’s role in society and the economy.
