Research interests span:
- Executive Compensation: Design of performance incentives, clawback provisions, and equity-based pay
- Corporate Governance: Board structures, director networks, and governance efficiency
- Financial Markets: Index investing, market efficiency, and tax policy impacts
Publications demonstrate consistent focus on incentive structures and governance, with recent work examining CEO compensation extremes (e.g., Elon Musk's $56B package) and tax implications in M&A.
