About me

My research interests span the fields of financial economics and game theory. In finance, my current research includes topics related to corporate finance; asset pricing; corporate governance; banking and risk management; quantitative finance; bankruptcy; fat tails and power laws; central bank communication; as well as text analysis. I also work in the field of theoretical economics, especially in contract theory, mechanism design, principal-agent problems and industrial organization. Of late, I have also become interested in political economy, development economics and economic history.
