About
Moumita Tiwari is a rising scholar in financial economics whose research explores the dark side of information acquisition in capital markets. Her work centers on how investors’ search for firm-specific information—particularly through SEC filings on EDGAR—can paradoxically increase stock price crash risk. In her highly cited 2024 paper, *“Is more always better? Information acquisition and stock price crash risk,”* Tiwari demonstrates that heightened search intensity creates capital market pressure on managers to withhold bad news, ultimately leading to higher future crash risk. This counterintuitive finding challenges conventional wisdom that more information always improves market efficiency. By using non-robot EDGAR download counts as a novel proxy for investor attention, Tiwari has introduced a powerful empirical tool for studying information acquisition. Her work bridges behavioral finance, corporate disclosure, and market microstructure, offering critical insights for regulators and practitioners. With her innovative approach and growing citation impact, Tiwari is establishing herself as a distinctive voice in understanding the unintended consequences of transparency in financial markets.
