Welcome to my website!

I am an associate professor in Finance at ESSEC Business School where I hold a CY Chair of Excellence in Financial Innovation.  I am a Research Member of the European Corporate Governance Institute and was previously on the faculties of the University of Toronto and INSEAD.  My primary research interests are in empirical corporate finance, which focus on some of the intersections between law, politics, and corporate finance.  I have some newer research projects that venture into empirical asset pricing topics.
