Presentation

My research interests revolve around understanding managerial choices. In one of my projects, I elicit risk preferences of U.S. executives from their option exercising behavior and use these data to explain sorting into certain economic environments and risk-taking decisions. I am also interested in the social and moral constraints of top executives pay that result from the institutional and individual environment to which the manager is exposed to. More recently, I am using phenotypic information of top decision takers to predict their financial choices.
