Hans Christensen's current research primarily focuses on the effects of social responsibility regulation, including transparency regulation related to healthcare prices and labor safety. His work also examines foreign corruption regulation and its implications for economic development. With published papers in journals like the Journal of Accounting Economics and the Journal of Accounting Research, Christensen brings substantial corporate experience from his tenure at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), where he audited financial statements prepared under US-GAAP, IFRS, and various national accounting standards. He observed that firms often present similar accounting events in different ways across countries. Christensen earned his PhD in accounting from the Manchester Business School in the United Kingdom and joined the Chicago Booth faculty in 2008. His teaching aims to provide students with a robust understanding of accounting, enabling them to read financial reports critically. Beyond academia, he has been preparing for the Chicago Marathon for the past ten years and enjoys traveling.
The doctoral program at Booth is organized into 'dissertation areas' which include Accounting, Behavioral Science, Econometrics and Statistics, Finance, Marketing, and Operations Management.
