معرفی
Nishad Matawlie is a Visiting Lecturer at the Erasmus School of Economics, Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, within the Department of Business Economics. His academic work bridges behavioral science and financial decision-making, focusing on psychological factors that influence corporate leadership and economic choices.
Research Interests: Dr. Matawlie's research explores the intersection of mind, behavior, and financial outcomes. His work particularly emphasizes overconfidence as a cognitive bias affecting executive decision-making. Using interdisciplinary methods from psychology and economics, he investigates how behavioral traits distort strategic financial actions such as mergers and acquisitions. His studies contribute to the growing field of behavioral corporate finance, offering insights into non-rational drivers behind economic decisions.
Publication Trends: Both of his key works center on overconfidence in financial contexts. The first, his doctoral thesis, traces the pathway from mental processes to financial behavior. The second paper directly examines whether overconfident CEOs deviate from optimal toehold strategies during corporate takeovers. Together, they form a coherent research trajectory focused on behavioral anomalies in high-stakes financial environments.
