Colleagues and students call him Stan. Stan’s current research focus on the effects of social capital on corporations. In these endeavors, social capital refers to non-religious norms and social networks that exist in local geographical areas in which corporate headquarters are located. These research add to our understanding of how social influences affect corporations and bridge disciplines in social sciences including sociology, economics, finance, accounting, and management. Collectively, the research findings suggest that social norms and networks surrounding corporate headquarters exert influences that constrains corporate tax avoidance, promotes corporate social responsibility, and facilitates corporate debt contracting. One can find the resulting publications in the Journal of Accounting Research, the Journal of Business Ethics, and the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, respectively. Continuing with this inquiry, Stan and colleagues are exploring the effects of social capital on agency problems in corporations and on corporate innovation.
