Biography
Booth School of Business
João Granja’s research interests include analyzing the relationship between disclosure and financial development with a focus on examining the way accounting information affects the stability and development of financial institutions. His papers have been accepted in the Journal of Accounting Research and in the Journal of Finance.
Granja earned an undergraduate degree in economics from the Universidade do Porto (Portugal). During his studies, he spent a semester abroad at Corvinus University in Budapest, Hungary. In 2008, he graduated with a MSc in economics from the Universidade Católica Portuguesa (Lisbon), and completed a PhD in accounting from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in 2013. Prior to joining academia, he has consulted on several projects that involved the use of financial statements to evaluate the efficiency of regulated industries in Portugal.
Before joining Booth, Granja was an assistant professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Business, where he taught Corporate Financial Accounting. Granja joined Booth in 2016 and he hopes that his students take away a solid understanding of the accounting principles that mediate the communication between firms and the users of financial reports.
Outside of academia, João enjoys to play hide-and-seek with his 1-year old son Pedro and to play soccer with friends. Research Interests
