Carlo D'Augusta
I completed my studies in accounting at the University of Genova, obtaining both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in the field. Subsequently, I earned my Ph.D. from Bocconi University in 2013. In the same year, I joined the faculty of Georgia State University and, later, Middle Tennessee State University. I moved back to Bocconi University in 2021.
My teaching experience includes courses in financial reporting, financial statement analysis, and accounting research. I have received several awards, including the 2022-2023 Bocconi Undergraduate School Teaching Award, the 2019-2020 Bridgestone Americas Distinguished Lecturer Award, and other recognitions from student associations.
My research has been published in leading academic journals such as The Accounting Review, Contemporary Accounting Research, the Journal of Accounting, Auditing & Finance, Finance Research Letters, The International Journal of Accounting, and the European Accounting Review.
My research is in financial reporting. More specifically, I am interested in understanding how characteristics of financial information affect the capital markets and investors’ reaction to financial disclosure, as well as how different types of disclosures can interact to affect information users.
My research interests are impact of financial information on capital markets, voluntary disclosure, and accounting conservatism.
