Um dos maiores pesquisadores da área de contabilidade foi nomeado para ser economista-chefe da SEC, a CVM dos EUA:

The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced that S.P. Kothari has been named Chief Economist and Director of the agency’s Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA).  Dr. Chyhe Becker, who has served as DERA’s Acting Director while the SEC completed its search, will continue to serve both as Deputy Director and Associate Director of Litigation Economics.
Mr. Kothari joins the SEC from the Sloan School of Management at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he is a professor of accounting and finance and recently ended a six-year term as Deputy Dean of MIT Sloan School of Management.

“S.P. brings with him wide-reaching insight from his decades spent as a leader in applying sophisticated research to the operation of our financial markets, including firsthand experience from his time in the private sector,” said SEC Chairman Jay Clayton.  “His leadership will guide DERA well in the research and analysis it provides in support of the Commission’s work on behalf of Main Street investors.  I also want to thank Chyhe for her exemplary leadership as Acting Director of the division over the last year.
