Biography

Michael Jung joined New York University Stern School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Accounting in July 2010.

Professor Jung's research interests relate to firms' financial communication and disclosure practices and the interactions between corporate managers, institutional investors and analysts. He and his co-authors have examine the diffusion of voluntary disclosure practices within industries, the capital market consequences of firms' managerial presentations at investor conferences, the determinants and consequences of C.E.O.s taking $1 salaries, and the future implications of unexpectedly high caller participation on earnings conference calls.

Prior to joining NYU Stern, Professor Jung was an equity research analyst for SG Cowen Securities, covering the telecommunications and networking industry. He also worked for Ernst & Young in its bankruptcy and restructuring group. He is a Chartered Financial Analyst and a member of the C.F.A. Society of Philadelphia.

Professor Jung received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley; his M.B.A. in Finance and International Business from NYU Stern School of Business; and his Ph.D. in Accounting from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
