Jairaj Gupta

I joined the University of York as an Associate Professor in October 2021, with the goal to pursue scholarly engagements oriented toward the public good. Despite global efforts to promote sustainability, there is a growing gap between what is best for society and what is best for individual economic actors. Consequently, my research focuses on the impact of opportunistic financial reporting on capital market decisions, particularly in the areas of sustainability and ESG, analyst forecasts, earnings quality, and corporate bankruptcy. I have published my research in internationally reputed peer-reviewed journals and presented at major academic conferences including the American Accounting Association, European Accounting Association, and American Economic Association. My lectures are intense, but incredibly insightful and educating. I am open to supervising high-quality PhD candidates.
