为增强学院学术氛围，加强学术科研合作，金融科技学院持续开展系列学术讲座。2025年4月11日上午，学院特邀请澳大利亚莫纳什大学陈晨教授作专题学术讲座。

本次讲座中，陈晨教授重点介绍了其在财务会计领域的最新研究成果，具体内容如下：

This paper examines how firms adjust their hiring practices in response to capital market pressure. Using analysts’ queries during conference calls as a proxy for the market’s expectations regarding future hiring, we find that firms increase the number of job postings following such calls. However, they also shorten job posting durations and relax hiring requirements related to skills, experience, and education—changes that are most pronounced shortly after the call. These shifts in hiring criteria affect the quality of new hires, who tend to possess fewer self-disclosed skills, lower educational attainment, and less experience. Additionally, post-call hires are more likely to leave the firm early and face greater difficulty securing subsequent employment. Finally, we document negative capital market consequences: firms that engage in lower-quality hiring under pressure experience significantly lower stock returns in the following months. Collectively, our findings suggest that hiring under capital market pressure compromises new hire quality and can harm firm performance.

讲座结束后，针对学院师生提出的相关学术问题，陈晨教授进行详细解答，与学院师生深入交流，为学院师生带来一场学术盛宴。
