Hi, I'm Lira Mota. 

I am the Class of 1958 Career Development Professor and Assistant Professor of Finance at MIT Sloan School of Management. 

My research lies at the intersection of asset pricing, macrofinance, and corporate finance. Much of my work examines how financial frictions, regulation, and monetary policy shape asset prices and corporate decisions, contributing to our understanding of portfolio allocation, the drivers of risk and return, and the transmission mechanisms through which policy affects financial markets.

Before joining Sloan, I received a PhD in finance from Columbia Business School and I completed post-doctoral work at Princeton University.
