Dr. Kim is a
noted researcher on the role of
accounting information in
financial markets, especially
well known for his work on
trading volume. He is a leader
in developing methods of using
variables such as volume,
bid-ask spreads, and analysts'
earnings forecasts in addition
to stock price in accounting
research. In his recent studies,
Dr. Kim is trying to link
financial variables to
non-financial variables such as
industry and product
characteristics to lay a
foundation to a more concrete
theory of financial statement
analysis.
