Teaching and research interests
Professor Sadka’s research focuses on two areas — equity valuation, and the relation between financial reporting and product market competition. In his research on equity valuation, he examines the role of earnings in generating stock price volatility and the effects of marketwide liquidity shocks on the market’s response to earnings news. In his second area of research, he examines the effects of public sharing of financial statements on economic growth and productivity, and the implications of accounting fraud for firms’ behavior and consumer welfare. Prior to joining the PhD program at the University of Chicago, Sadka worked at the Israeli Accounting Standard Board. He teaches the core managerial accounting class.
