V.G. Earnest Professor of Management Accounting

Hello, this is V.G Earnest. I am a professor in Duke University and serving to education department from last so many years. I am continuously doing research in management accounting. I am doing field experiments to know that how firms use financial incentives and performance feedback to enhance performance. I am studying and researching that how financial incentives can be used as a catalyst to create desirable habits and to tie together other motivators such as peer pressure. I apply analytical modelling and field data to research on this topic. Another topic which I find very interesting understands how CEO compensation affects the risk levels at banks.
