Stefan Zeume serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Finance at the University of Illinois, specializing in corporate finance intersections with illicit economic activities. His research examines systemic impacts of tax havens, organized crime enforcement, and family business structures on global markets.
Primary research domains include:
- Tax Havens and Offshore Finance
- Corporate Governance under Criminal Influence
- Family Firm Dynamics
- Labor Market Regulation Compliance
- Corruption Economics
- Firm Valuation in Illicit Contexts
Zeume's 2019-2024 publications reveal consistent focus on data-driven analysis of financial secrecy mechanisms, with landmark Panama Papers research demonstrating 75+ citations and policy impacts. Recent work in Management Science (2024) establishes causal links between antimafia operations and corporate market entry patterns, while earlier studies quantify tax inversion motivations beyond statutory rate differentials. His fingerprint shows dominant tax haven (100%) and corruption (60%) research signatures.
Collaborative networks include Wagner, Slutzky, and O'Donovan, with work referenced in 4+ policy sources, 2 Wikipedia pages, and significant social media engagement (57+ X posts, 195+ Mendeley readers). Research demonstrates real-world policy relevance through antimafia enforcement analysis and offshore leak investigations.
