## 2026 Four-School Accounting Research Conference The Department of Accounting at NYU Stern School of Business will host the Four-School Accounting Research Conference on Friday, April 17, 2026. This annual conference brings together accounting researchers from four leading northeastern business schools: Columbia Business School, NYU Stern, the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale School of Management. We invited colleagues at these schools to a day of research presentations and discussions in accounting. Each school would have one paper presentation with a discussant from another school. ***\*ATTENDANCE IS BY INVITATION ONLY*** - [Agenda](https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:c22db38f-21f8-45d6-a37a-ec419588446c) - [Registered Attendees](https://acrobat.adobe.com/id/urn:aaid:sc:VA6C2:e64c8f1b-4b3a-4b23-8a86-eb5f6855224e) - [Logistics](#Logistics) - [Papers](#4%20School%20Papers) - [Location](#Location) - [Map & Directions](#Map) - [Hotel Guide](https://acrobat.adobe.com/link/track?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:2b892057-bbe5-333e-94c9-eee2fd4f8cd1) **Logistics:** **Date:** Friday, April 17, 2026 **Time:** 11:15 am - 5:00 pm **Address:** NYU Stern Tisch Hall, 40 West 4th Street, New York, NY 10012 **Room:** Tisch 415 and KMC Cantor Boardroom (M11-75) **Papers:** Session I: Managerial Myopia, Voluntary Disclosure, and Learning from Markets Authors: Kyle Jung (NYU Stern) *Presenter:* Kyle Jung (NYU Stern) *Discussant:* Tim Baldenius (Columbia Business School) *Moderator:* Cong Xiao (Yale SOM) Session II: Buying from the Family: Private Equity-Owned Insurers and Their Affiliated InvestmentsAuthors: Amy W.
