Experience & Activities

King Duho is a Ghanaian-trained accounting and business researcher currently based in Chicago, USA. His research has focused on how accounting information, standards, and practices shape and are shaped by strategic business decisions and government interventions, especially in contexts where firms operate under institutional, regulatory and political frictions. He also explores how accounting is an infrastructure for economic coordination, serving both as a tool for internal decision-making and a tool for accountability in firm-government relations. His focus has been in empirical and theoretical variations, in archival designs, quasi-natural settings, field experiments, and economic modelling of firm behavior. His previous research works were on financial services firms (banks, microfinance, and fintech), information economics (corporate disclosures on ESG issues), auditing, and taxation. He is also a Youth Fellow with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), where he engages periodically with IMF staff to explore their work and how it can be enhanced, especially in developing economies. King’s articles have been published in multiple journals and he is ranked among the top 100 researchers working on emerging markets in the last 5 years.
