Working Papers

Biases in Information Choice and Its Use: The Role of Strategic Uncertainty (with Isabel Trevino) [paper] 

  • We investigate how strategic motives affect subjects' acquisition and use of information. We find that substantial proportion of subjects tend to overacquire and overuse of information. We explain the mechanism behind these two biases.

International Trade Finance and Learning Dynamics (with David Kohn, Emiliano Luttini, and Shengxing Zhang)  [paper]

  • We investigate both empirically and quantitatively how demand and counterparty risk affect export dynamics. 

Debt Overhang and Liquidity Risk [paper]

  • I investigate how liquidity risk due to maturity mismatch affects investment. In particularly, I show that short-term debt that matures before investment takes place leads to more under-investment (i.e., more severe debt overhang).
