Professor Steffen’s research concentrates on CEO integrity and other attributes, managers’ disclosures (both voluntary and mandatory), and information intermediaries—typically in the context of capital markets. His current projects focus on CEO leadership attributes, narrative economics, non-GAAP earnings, and identifying CEOs’ characteristics based on their communications to shareholders. Before joining the Yale School of Management, he attended Duke University for his doctoral studies and earned master’s and bachelor’s degrees from Brigham Young University.
