We proudly congratulate Dr. Jose Elias Almeida and Dr. Andre Mollick on the publication of their latest coauthored study, "Aggregate earnings growth, credit market distress, and future real U.S. GDP and GDI growth,” now featured in the Journal of Accounting and Public Policy.

Their research investigates how aggregate earnings growth and credit market distress jointly help predict future real U.S. GDP and GDI growth. By linking accounting metrics with macroeconomic indicators, the study shows the vital, complementary role financial reporting data and credit market health play in forecasting economic performance.
