This dissertation is composed of three distinct chapters that empirically investigate various forms of decision-making by firms and/or managers in the field of empirical financial accounting. The first chapter presents a work joint with Francois Brochet and Sven Michael Spira, analyzing how the risk of securities lawsuit for investment-related reasons disciplines managers and reduce agency concerns with respect to investment. The second chapter examines how changes in labor regulation affect managers' incentives to manipulate earnings using other tools that are ultimately detrimental to firms. The third chapter, joint with Renaud Coulomb and Marc Sangnier, explores how political connections lead directors to engage in plausibly fraudulent insider trading in financial markets.

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 co-authored 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 co-authored 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.
