Professor Rickmann has joined Kellogg in 2020. Previously, he completed his Ph.D. at MIT.

Professor Rickmann is broadly interested in how information is revealed and used in financial markets. Specifically, his research focuses on the information contained in market prices (of stocks and bonds) and on corporations' incentives to disclose information.

I am broadly interested in corporate disclosure, corporate debt markets, and the link between secondary nancial markets and the real economy.

Financial Accounting (ACCT-430-0)
This course acquaints students with the process used to construct and understand the financial reports of organizations. The objective is to understand the decisions that must be made in the financial reporting process and to develop the ability to evaluate and use accounting data. Emphasis is placed on understanding the breadth of accounting measurement practices and on being able to make the adjustments necessary for careful analysis. The course highlights the linkages between accounting information and management planning, and decision making and control. Course sections that end in "H" will be taught in a format that combines the convenience and flexibility of online learning with the social and instructional benefits of face-to-face classroom experiences. Online sessions are conducted synchronously with classmates and faculty.
