Kelly Wentland, an accounting professor at the �鶹��Ƶ School of Business, recently published a paper in Management Science that further specifies and quantifies firm response to tax uncertainty.

Lin Sun, an assistant professor of finance at the �鶹��Ƶ School of Business, has uncovered that even top investors share a very human weakness– their professional acumen can be thrown off by inclement weather.
