Marcus Braga Alves serves as Professor of Finance in the Department of Finance and Economics at Pace University's Lubin School of Business, maintaining his office at W 420A, One Pace Plaza in New York City. His academic career builds upon extensive professional experience in emerging markets finance.
His educational foundation includes:
- PhD in Finance from the University of Pittsburgh
- MBA in Financial Management from Pace University
Dr. Braga Alves' research program centers on investment management, corporate finance, and international finance, with distinctive focus on capital market development in emerging economies. His investigations address critical challenges faced by market participants in deregulated global environments, particularly drawing from Brazil's financial evolution. This specialization stems from his pre-academic career promoting agricultural derivatives for price risk management among Brazilian farmers during market liberalization.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2011-2022) reveals three dominant research trajectories: market microstructure studies examining dark pools and short-selling mechanics; corporate governance analyses of CEO power dynamics and board structures; and international finance investigations into political risk, ESG factors, and emerging market IPOs. His work consistently leverages Brazilian market data, creating a unique scholarly bridge between developed and emerging financial systems.
Dr. Braga Alves actively contributes to academic discourse through service as an ad hoc journal reviewer and participation in program committees for the Financial Management Association and Eastern Finance Association annual meetings.
