Ramanna's scholarship has explored regulation and decision-making at the Financial Accounting Standards Board and the International Accounting Standards Board.[2] He has also written about the costs and benefits of fair value accounting.[3] His 2015 book Political Standards posits that accounting rule-making is an exemplar of a "thin political market," a regulatory setting of economic consequence in which the general public is largely disinterested and where corporate special interests possess relevant tacit knowledge. This situation can result in regulatory capture.[4]

Ramanna is a proponent of reforming business ethics education, arguing that corporate managers have unique capabilities and duties to steward the basic institutions of capitalism.[5] Prior to Oxford, Ramanna taught leadership, ethics, and financial reporting at Harvard Business School, where he won the International Case Centre's Outstanding Case-Writer prize, dubbed by the Financial Times as “the business school Oscars.”[6]
