Hjelström, Tomas

I hold a PhD from the Stockholm School of Economics (Department of Accounting). My primary research interests are within behavioral aspects of financial accounting, particularly application of accounting standards, and financial analysis and valuation. I participated in the International Teachers’ Programme (ITP) at Stern Business School, New York, 1999/2000.
