My research interests revolve around understanding managerial choices. In one of my projects, I elicit risk preferences of U.S. executives from their option exercising behavior and use these data to explain sorting into certain economic environments and risk-taking decisions. I am also interested in the social and moral constraints of top executives pay that result from the institutional and individual environment to which the manager is exposed to. More recently, I became interested in the drivers and consequences of population aging and economic inequality in the context of corporate governance and top decision making.
