Summary
Eric Weisbrod is an Associate Professor of Accounting at the University of Kansas with 11 years of academic and regulatory experience bridging rigorous empirical research and practical data-driven policy work. He studies the predictive value of accounting disclosures, data processing delays, and investor behavioral biases using applied econometrics on datasets exceeding 50 million observations, and has published in top outlets including the Journal of Finance and Journal of Financial Economics. Previously an Academic Fellow at the SEC, he built SQL tools for recurring analysis of restatements and internal control weaknesses and contributed quantitative input to senior speeches—an uncommon blend of scholarship and applied regulatory analytics. He has a track record of teaching at the master’s level and innovating hybrid course designs, and he earned his PhD from Arizona State University after consulting on complex litigation analytics early in his career. Based in Leawood, Kansas, he combines deep methodological rigor with a practical orientation toward improving disclosure quality and investor decision-making.
