Background

Broadly, my academic areas of expertise are financial economics and macroeconomics. I use economic tools to study the impact of information on decision-making in financial economics. My primary research focuses on corporate finance topics, such as the processes by which firms are sold (Journal of Financial Economics) and the role of executives in merger and acquisition decisions (Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis). Additionally, I explore research methodologies and scientific progress in macroeconomics (Journal of Economic Literature).
