I started my career as an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota and after a couple of years, I moved to the University of Virginia, where I have been since.
My research interest are at the intersection of empirical corporate finance and empirical industrial organization: Common ownership, product market competition, monopoly rents, corporate bankruptcy, banking relationships.
My most recent work focuses on how competition in the product market is affected by the corporate governance of competing firms. For example, I am studying whether product market competitors that are owned by a common set of institutional investors are pressured to engage in anti-competitive practices. My work on this received the Best Overall Paper Award at the 2018 European Finance Association Meeting, and has been cited in public policy documents from The United Stated House Committee on Appropriations (Subcommittee on Financial Services), United States Department of Justice, The Federal Reserve Board, The UK Government, Competition and Markets Authority, and The European Commission, among others. It has also been featured inThe Economist, The Financial Times, and Bloomberg View, among others.
My solo work has been published in the Journal of Finance (nominated for the Brattle Prize) and the Review of Financial Studies. I have co-authored work published in several journals including the Journal of Finance, the Review of Corporate Finance Studies, the International Journal of Industrial Organization, the Journal of Financial Intermediation, and The Journal of Corporate Finance.
My work has been presented in several national and international academic institutions, as well as policy institutions such as the U.S. Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Federal Reserve Banks of Chicago and New York. I’ve presented my work, and discussing colleagues’ work, at several finance conferences, including the Western Finance Association Meeting, the American Finance Association Meetings, the Financial Intermediation Research Society, and the Econometric Society Meetings.
