I am the Class of 1958 Career Development Assistant Professor of Accounting at the MIT Sloan School of Management.
I am interested in the interplay between information, incentives, and decision-making, both inside and outside the firm. I use a wide set of research methods including field experiments, surveys, and archival analyses both within a firm and in broad-sample settings.
I hold a PhD in Accounting from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Previously, I worked as an auditor for PricewaterhouseCoopers, where I served mid- to large-sized private equity- and family-owned businesses. I earned a Bachelors of Business Administration from the University of Notre Dame and am licensed as a CPA (inactive) in Illinois.
In my spare time, I enjoy baking rectangular loaves of sourdough bread, making pizza, and starting (but not mastering) new hobbies.
* While my legal name is Joseph, I go by Joe (or "JoeMo" for my Sloan colleagues).
