Richard Crowley, assistant professor of accounting at Singapore Management University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his paper Executive Tweets, which he co-authored with Wenli Huang of Hong Kong Polytechnic University and Hai Lu of the University of Toronto.

This result is consistent with a person-to-person trust mechanism.
