Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor in Finance (tenure track) at the WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management.
In my research, I focus on investor behavior, asset pricing, macro-finance, and household finance. Much of my work studies investor beliefs and how they affect investor behavior at the individual and market level. My work is empirical, based both on experiments (lab, online) and archival data. To learn more about my ongoing research projects, go to Research.
