Research Interests: 

My research centers around corporate governance, with a particular focus on issues of uncertainty and information asymmetry between managers and shareholders.

Recently, my research topics have included the effects of reputation, signaling, new strategies (such as Reverse Mergers), and behavioral strategy.
