3E2D6836Professor Yaniv Konchitchki's research interests are in the implications of financial reporting for the capital market.  He is particularly interested in how equity asset prices are affected by financial information such as inflation, exchange rates, analyst forecasts, announcements of superior knowledge management, and earnings transparency.  His recent research projects have examined how the quality of financial information affects firms’ cost of capital, and the economic consequences of inflation in a nominal financial reporting environment.  Yaniv received his PhD from Stanford University in 2007.  Before receiving his PhD, Yaniv worked for several years as a Senior Financial Consultant and as a CPA in public accounting for PricewaterhouseCoopers, as well as a Senior Expert for the Securities Authority.     CLICK HERE FOR CURRICULUM VITAE
