• Corporate finance decisions affected by peer firm valuations
• The impact of banking regulations on small business credit
• Executive characteristics and leadership outcomes

Dr. Cannon's publication record reveals a consistent focus on how psychological factors shape financial markets. His research on return extrapolation demonstrates how dividend-paying stocks exhibit different behavioral patterns than non-dividend-paying stocks. The work on social capital using Facebook data established Economic Connectedness as a key predictor of financial market participation. His banking deregulation research challenges conventional wisdom by showing decreased small business lending following interstate branching deregulation. These contributions collectively advance our understanding of financial decision-making across multiple market participants.
