Biography

Leonard N. Stern School of Business

Christine Cuny joined New York University Stern School of Business as an Assistant Professor of Accounting in July 2013.

Professor Cuny’s research examines the economic, political, and competitive forces that shape financial disclosure decisions – and investors’ response thereto. She uses a variety of settings to study financial disclosure, though her work primarily focuses on local governments that participate in the municipal bond market.

Prior to joining NYU Stern, Professor Cuny worked at Morgan Stanley as an equity research associate covering the property and casualty insurance industry and at PricewaterhouseCoopers as an auditor in the banking practice. She is a Certified Public Accountant.

Professor Cuny earned her B.S. in Analytical Finance and M.S. in Accounting from Wake Forest University, and her M.B.A. and Ph.D. in Accounting from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
