Joseph Kalmenovitz

I am an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Simon Business School (University of Rochester). 

Before joining Simon, I was a faculty member at Drexel University and a senior law clerk at the Supreme Court of Israel. I graduated from New York University in May 2020 with a PhD in Finance.  

I study the economics of regulation: how regulation is formed and how regulation affects economic decisions. I use advanced empirical methods and novel data sets. My papers have been published in the Journal of Finance, the Review of Financial Studies, and the Journal of Law and Economics.

Burden of all federal paperwork regulations, measured in terms of regulations ("how many rules?") and hours ("how many hours does it take to comply?"). I developed the indexes in my paper "Regulatory Intensity and Firm-Specific Exposure" (2021). This figure is an UPDATED version, as of March 31, 2025.
