Omri Even-Tov is an Assistant Professor in the Accounting Group. His research focuses on empirical capital markets and addresses issues related to the information content of earnings, corporate debt, corporate governance, information intermediaries, and mergers and acquisitions. His current research examines investor sentiment; the relation between stock prices and the cost of debt; information leakage prior to credit-rating changes; and the conflict of interest that exists between managers and shareholders over whether to accept acquisition offers.

Even-Tov has also been recognized for his significant accomplishments as an educator. In his second year as an Assistant Professor, he was honored with Berkeley Haas’ Earl F.
