Welcome to my site! 

Ivy Feng is an Assistant Professor of Accounting at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. She received her Ph.D. in Accounting from the University of Maryland, a Master's degree of Accountancy from Georgia State University, and a Master's degree in Quantitative and Computational Finance from the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Prof. Feng's research examines the effects of disclosure, economic incentives, and financial frictions on firms, labor-market participants, and households. One stream of her research focuses on firm disclosure and information transparency, examining how disclosure affects firms' information acquisition, strategic behavior, and real economic outcomes. A second stream examines how personal financial information, economic incentives, and frictions influence the decisions of labor-market participants and households. Her work integrates large-scale public and proprietary datasets, including SEC website traffic, household financial transaction records, online labor market data, credit bureau data, and Census data.

Prof. Feng has taught financial accounting at two institutions, primarily at the undergraduate level. Her teaching emphasizes analytical thinking, real-world applications, and the integration of data-driven insights into the classroom. She received the Smith School Distinguished Teaching Award at the University of Maryland and has been nominated for teaching excellence by the Department of Accounting at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
