Asset Pricing Research Initiative

My research interests center around empirical asset pricing, institutional investors, and portfolio management. My research has focused on the role of institutional and retail investors in the mutual fund industry, the impact of fixed-income funds in Latin American emerging market economies, and behavioral considerations influencing firms’ capital structure decisions.
