I produce a series of research paper reviews covering recent and influential work in finance and economics. These videos summarize each paper’s central question, research design, main findings, and broader implications. The goal is to provide clear, structured overviews that are useful for students, researchers, and others interested in current research. I also incorporate many of these reviews into my courses. The reviews are organized by topic below.
Corporate Governance & Executive Incentives
Research on boards, executive compensation, shareholder voting, mergers, and firm policy.
Political Economy & Public Policy
Research on taxation, regulation, electoral incentives, and policy design.
Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)
Research on sustainability, corporate accountability, and environmental regulation.
