Mustafa Bulut

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Mistra Center for Sustainable Markets (Misum) and the Swedish House of Finance (SHoF) at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE). I received my PhD in Finance from SSE in April 2024. Prior to my doctoral studies, I worked as a junior economist in the Research Department of the Central Bank of Turkey.

My research lies in empirical corporate finance, with a particular focus on initial public offerings (IPOs), agglomeration economies, and innovation. I examine how going public affects a firm’s innovative activity, its organizational boundaries, and its role within the local business environment. A central theme in my work is that IPOs generate important local spillover effects: by reshaping collaboration patterns and reallocating talent, they influence not only the IPO firm but also the innovative performance of nearby firms.

I will be on the 2025-2026 job market.
