Biography

Assistant Professor of Accounting. Dr. Timothy Shields received his Doctorate in Business Administration from the University of Minnesota in 2007, where he repeatedly won the Outstanding Ph.D. Student Teaching Award teaching financial and managerial accounting. Dr Shields' current research focuses upon how accounting information either facilitates or hinders individual and group welfare, and uses methods from experimental economics, analytical modeling, and cognitive sciences. He is currently researching how repeated transactions versus one-time interaction affect subjects' depth of strategic thinking, how conflicts of interest affect communication, and how simple heuristic models offer insight into one's choice of action over time. Dr Shields has presented his research at major conferences.

Prior to becoming an academic, Dr Shields worked as a Certified Public Accountant and a Financial Officer in Reno, Nevada.
