I am a professor at UC Berkeley School of Law, a senior research fellow at the Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH), and a research member of the European Corporate Governance Institute. My research focuses on corporate governance, entrepreneurial finance, social impact, and law & economics.  I seek to understand what legal structures and incentive systems generate economic growth and social value. My work involves a combination of detailed institutional analysis and econometric methodology. The goal of my research is to provide analytical and theoretical insights that can inform public policy and corporate practice.
