RESEARCH

My research is centered around understanding how implicit and explicit incentives influence decision-making. I study decision-making in a variety of contexts, including both board-level and CEO-level decision-making. Additionally, I study the role that CEO labour markets have in strategic decision-making and optimal contract design.

My empirical approaches are centered around causal inference. I additionally use laboratory experiments and structural econometrics to better understand the underlying mechanisms of the phenomena I study.
