Primary research areas
My specializations include international business and quantitative methods, with a special focus on technology spillovers, strategic international business issues, multinational location choice and entry, exit and survival (firm/industry dynamics). In the area of corporate governance I am interested in networks of firms and boards of directors and its relation to performance and diversity.

Primary research areas

  • Corporate Governance
  • Industrial Organization: Firm/industry dynamics (entry, exit, survival), determinants of firm performance and organization economics
  • FDI: Technology transfer, local firms productivity, competition, exports, international trade
  • Applied econometrics and its applications to dynamic panels and the modelling of heterogeneity
