Biography
Mary Billings joined New York University Stern School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Accounting in July 2007. Prior to joining Stern, she worked as a consultant at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP.
In her research, Professor Billings examines the role accounting information plays in shaping the behavior of corporate insiders, institutional investors, and capital market participants in the presence of information asymmetries. She investigates the nature of informational advantages and the ways in which they affect disclosure and trading behavior. Her current work considers the conflicting disclosure and trading incentives faced by managers who become aware of negative earnings news.
