Jeremy Bertomeu’s research specialization is in financial accounting, in particular, the valuation implications of the primary financial statements such as the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of cash flows and the statement of stockholders' equity. His research aims at understanding the trade-offs involved in implementing more efficient accounting choices, and empirically measuring the degree to which these trade-offs require regulatory action. Jeremy received a Eugene Lang Fellowship 2014-2015 and a PSC CUNY grant 2013 – 2017 from the City University of New York. He also received an Alexander Henderson Dissertation Award in 2008, a Center for Applied Research and Technology grant in 2007 – 2008 and a William Larimer Mellon Ph.D Fellowship in 2003 – 2006 from Carnegie Mellon University.
