Expertise

My research explores topics related to empirical corporate finance, especially entrepreneurial finance and private investment, by using multidisciplinary research methods. In particular, I enjoy designing field and lab-in-the-field experiments to study important entrepreneurship and finance-related questions. These experiments, similar to art, help people understand the world while providing their designers with enough freedom and space for imagination.
