| Narcissism is a Bad Sign |
In this edition of Smith Business Close-Up with the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of
Business, Nick Seybert talks about his new research that looks at the size of CEO’s signatures on annual
SEC filings to measure narcissism and how that relates to firm performance.
Seybert is an assistant professor at the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of
Maryland in the Accounting and Information Assurance Department. He studies financial accounting
and behavioral finance, particularly how optimistic beliefs arise and are disciplined in the market.
His research has been published in leading journals, including the Accounting Review, the Journal of
Accounting Research, and Management Science.
Smith Business Close-Up is co-produced by the Robert H. Smith School of Business and Maryland Public Television. The television segment focuses on the latest thinking in business management, and features in-depth interviews with Smith School faculty and other members of the school’s community of business leaders.
