Expertise
Máté’s research interest lies at the intersection of financial accounting, corporate governance, and executive compensation. He studies the information asymmetry among corporate insiders and capital providers, and the role of executive compensation contracts in the context of these information asymmetries. He is interested in corporate decisions to (re-)contract with executives, decisions about specific contract features, and how corporate contracting decisions provide context for value-relevant information signals to capital providers. More specifically, he is interested in insider trading, insider ownership, executive succession, contract negotiation, the timing of equity grants, and executive compensation disclosure choices.
