Professor Huang’s research examines how information design, disclosure, and governance mechanisms shape managerial incentives, firm decision-making, and capital market outcomes. Her work spans corporate governance, financial reporting, managerial disclosure, and bank transparency, unified by a central interest in how reporting systems influence real economic behavior within organizations and capital allocation across firms. She studies topics including shareholder horizon and managerial short-termism, accounting comparability and resource allocation efficiency, and the feedback effects of capital markets on corporate policies. Combining theoretical and empirical approaches, her research explores how accounting and disclosure systems can be optimally structured to align incentives, improve performance evaluation, and enhance organizational efficiency.

In the classroom, she links analytical frameworks to real-world managerial and governance practices, helping students understand how accounting systems serve as tools for decision-making, control, and strategy execution.

Professor Huang received a bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua University and a Ph.D. in Accounting and an M.A. in Economics from Duke University. She is currently Associate Professor of Accounting at the Yale School of Management.
