Personal profile

Research biography

My research is in the areas of empirical asset pricing and corporate finance. I have recently published in reputable finance journals such as the British Accounting Review, International Review of Financial Analysis, Economic Modelling, and International Review of Finance. I have been an ad-hoc reviewer for various finance journals.`

On corporate finance, I am keen to understand the factors that affect firm behaviours, in particular, investment decisions and corporate governance. I am interested in the role of information asymmetry and agency conflict in distorting value-maximizing investment decisions. On asset pricing, I seek to better understand how market dynamics and investor behaviour drive stock returns in the context of emerging markets. My research informs managers, shareholders, and policymakers to refine investment strategies and avoid capital misallocation.
