When examining the environment between a lender and borrower after disclosures, other stakeholders are more likely to be influenced by corporate borrowers’ loan contract disclosures. How does it affect the lender? Who else is affected? And should policy-makers consider the consequences to evaluate the full economic impact?

On Friday, March 26, Yongtae Kim will present co-authored research that delves into this topic during his talk, “Information spillover and corporate disclosure” as part of the Goodman School of Business Luncheon Speaker Series.

Kim is a Professor of Accounting at Santa Clara University’s Leavey School of Business, where he looks at managerial opportunism, voluntary disclosure, corporate social responsibility and capital markets. His current research examines the different contracting parties that are affected by the environment after corporate disclosures.

The Goodman Luncheon Speaker Series provides an informal opportunity to listen and discuss recent advances in research, teaching and practices with business colleagues virtually.

The webinar will run from 12:30 to 2 p.m. on Microsoft Teams and is open for anyone to attend. RSVP to receive a link to the session by emailing Jasmine Stasiuk Riddell at jstasiukriddell@brocku.ca
