Dr. Keith Walker joins the John B. and Lillian E. Neff College of Business and听Innovation as an Assistant Professor of Accounting. He comes to The University听of Toledo from Southern Illinois University 鈥� Carbondale with four years of听experience teaching taxation and financial accounting courses. Dr. Walker holds听a Ph.D. in Business Administration from Texas Tech University and a Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Accountancy degree from Kennesaw听State University.

At 淫妻社, Dr. Walker teaches Individual Taxation and Taxation of Business听Entities. His teaching and research interests are rooted in his professional听experiences. Before beginning the doctoral program, Dr. Walker worked for six听years as a public accountant at Murphy & McInvale CPAs, servicing the greater听Metro-Atlanta area.

His research focuses on taxation, corporate governance, and the intersection of听the two. His dissertation, 鈥淐EO Decision Horizon and Corporate Tax Avoidance,鈥澨齠ocuses on how the chief executive officer decision horizon affects corporate tax听avoidance and finds that executives with shorter decision horizons are听associated with lower levels of tax avoidance compared to firms with long听horizon CEOs.

Recently, Dr. Walker's paper, 鈥淭he Relation Between Equity Incentives and听Earnings Management through Permanently Reinvested Foreign Earnings for听U.S. Multinational Corporations,鈥� was accepted at Advances in Taxation. This paper examines whether the equity incentives of management are associated听with the increased use of PRE, and finds strong evidence that the changes in PRE听are positively associated with the portion of top managers鈥� compensation that听is tied to stock performance.
