00:00:00
Just give it a little bit more

00:00:02
>> Yeah. Yeah.
00:00:03
>> My name is Ron Chan Lee. I'm assistant
00:00:05
professor of accounting at Or I'm from
00:00:08
Beijing, China. I spent the first 22
00:00:10
years of my life there and I did my PhD
00:00:12
here in the United States at Columbia
00:00:13
Business School. My research focuses on
00:00:15
the production and communication of
00:00:17
information in the capital markets. We
00:00:19
are living in a world today that
00:00:20
information environment for firms are
00:00:22
changing rapidly. It's very different
00:00:24
from say 10, 20 years ago. the
00:00:27
regulators they're requiring firms to
00:00:28
sharing more of their information also
00:00:31
data vendors enabled by new technologies
00:00:33
making alternative data available to us
00:00:36
academics and also the practitioners. So
00:00:38
how do we actually navigate through all
00:00:40
this changes? One of the most exciting
00:00:42
thing about joining Wharton is really
00:00:44
the culture here. Even before joining I
00:00:46
heard many good words about the
00:00:47
collaborative collegial culture here at
00:00:50
Wharton and after joining I have to say
00:00:52
that I'm absolutely inspired by all the
00:00:53
day-to-day conversations that I had with
00:00:55
my colleagues. Sometimes it's just
00:00:57
really exchange of idea. Sometimes who
00:00:59
knows whether there will be a new
00:01:00
research project coming out of the
00:01:02
spark.
