RESEARCH
I study how implicit and explicit incentives shape strategic choices inside firms. My work spans board and CEO decision-making and examines how CEO labor markets inform governance and optimal contract design.
Empirically, I focus on credible causal identification and pair it with laboratory experiments and structural econometrics to uncover the mechanisms behind observed behavior.
