Anjana Rajamani is an Associate Professor of Finance at the Rotterdam School of Management (RSM), Erasmus University. She is affiliated with the Department of Finance and has been a faculty member since 2013. Her academic work is rooted in empirical corporate finance, with a strong focus on governance, executive compensation, and M&A.
Her research interests center on corporate governance, executive compensation structures, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and the influence of peer and spillover effects in these domains. She explores how firms and executives benchmark against peers in setting pay and making acquisition decisions, and how stock market valuations generate real effects across firms in the same region or industry.
The recent articles highlight a consistent trend in studying inter-firm dependencies, particularly how governance practices, compensation norms, and M&A behaviors diffuse through networks and local markets. Her work combines rigorous empirical analysis with real-world policy implications, often leveraging large datasets to uncover patterns in capital markets and corporate behavior.
