I un­cov­er what shapes in­vestors, firms, and so­ci­ety

My research explores how financial decisions—by households, investors, and corporations—are shaped by real-world challenges such as wealth shocks, health scares, and sustainability demands. By bringing evidence to questions of corporate governance and responsible investing, I aim to uncover how retail investors and shareholders can drive more transparent, resilient, and sustainable markets.
