Beatrice Michaeli is a researcher at UCLA focusing on financial reporting, performance measurement, incentives and contracting. Her work explores how firms report information, the role of performance metrics in shaping managerial behavior, and the design of incentive contracts that account for potential manipulation. She investigates how information asymmetry and disclosure practices influence investor decisions and corporate governance. Her research also addresses the implications of uncertain information on financial transparency and the effectiveness of disclosure strategies. Michaeli's studies often integrate game-theoretic models to analyze the interactions between firms, investors, and regulators in dynamic settings.
