Nazanin Babolmorad

Welcome! I am a Research Associate in the Faculty of Economics (LIPNE Lab) at the University of Cambridge. I received my PhD in Business Administration (Finance) from the University of Melbourne.

My research examines how households acquire financial information and advice and how digital technologies—particularly social media and artificial intelligence—are transforming their production, distribution, and consumption. I study the quality and reliability of financial advice in digital environments and the information signals that help individuals evaluate it.

My research interests include Financial Advice in the Digital Economy, Household Finance, and Behavioral Finance.

I am on the 2026/27 job market!
