Brian J. Bushee is the Geoffrey T. Boisi Professor and Senior Vice of Dean of Teaching and Learning at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He studies the impact of information intermediaries (institutional investors, the press, etc.) on corporate disclosure decisions and on the pricing of information by the stock market.[1]

Teaching[edit]

Prior to Wharton, Bushee was an Assistant professor at the Harvard Business School and a Visiting assistant professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. At Wharton, he teaches Financial Disclosure Analytics, which focuses on techniques that can be used to detect potential bias or aggressiveness in financial reporting. The course also highlights the consequences companies and executives can face when financial reporting irregularities are uncovered, even if leadership itself was not directly involved in the act.[2]

Leadership[edit]

As Senior Vice Dean of Teaching and Learning at Wharton, he has focused on expanding Wharton's reach, including global cohorts for its Executive MBA program and an online offering of its traditional MBA program.[3][4] Bushee has also served in multiple leadership roles at the American Accounting Association, and as of 2024, is the President-Elect of the association's Financial Accounting and Reporting section.[5][6]

Awards[edit]

Bushee has received many awards for his teaching, research, and service to the American Accounting Association.[1] He won the American Accounting Association Competitive Manuscript Award in 1998 for his paper "The Influence of Institutional Investors on Myopic R&D Investment Behavior".[7] In 2009, he was awarded the Helen Kardon Moss Anvil Award, which recognizes a member of the Wharton faculty who "who exemplifies outstanding teaching quality in the MBA classroom".[8]

For his work with the American Accounting Association, in 2021, he won the Outstanding Service Award in recognition of his "outstanding services to the Association other than educational and research contributions.[9][10] He was subsequently recognized in 2023 with the Lifetime Service Award for his "distinguished service contributions to the Financial Accounting and Reporting Section [of the American Accounting Association]".[11]

Personal Life[edit]

Bushee is married to Nancy Rothbard, whom he met while getting his PhD at the University of Michigan. They would later both accept faculty positions at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 2000.[12]
