Bige Kahraman

Bige Kahraman is an Associate Professor of Finance at Saïd Business School since 2015. She holds a PhD in Economics from Yale University, with specialisations in financial economics and econometrics.  She is also a Fellow at Kellogg College, University of Oxford, and a Research Affiliate in the Financial Economics programme of the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR).

Her research focuses on understanding the role of market frictions on market efficiency and allocation of capital. She analyses the sources of market frictions giving rise to market inefficiency and systematic crises. She identifies frictions arising from capital constraints, organisational structures in asset management intermediaries, and asymmetric information as important drivers of various anomalies observed in financial markets.

Prior to joining Saïd Business School, Bige taught at the Stockholm School of Economics and was a Research Fellow at the Swedish House of Finance. She holds a BA in Economics from Bilkent University in Ankara, Turkey.

At Oxford Saïd, Bige is teaching the Firms and Market (Microeconomics) core course in the MBA and Executive MBA programmes.
