Do mutual funds herd in industries?
(Elsevier, 2015-03)This study examines whether mutual funds herd in industries and the extent to which such herding impacts industry valuations. Using two herding measures proposed by Lakonishok et al. (1992) and Sias (2004) we document that ... -
The economic effects of owner distance and local property management in US office markets
(Oxford Publishing, 2016-07-04)This paper is one of the first empirical studies to investigate the role of owner proximity or distance on the performance of commercial real estate and it is the first to analyze the economic benefits of property management ... -
The effects of foreign acquisitions on the value of industry peers
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-03)This paper studies how industry peers' stock prices respond when another firm in the industry is acquired by a foreign firm. The average stock price reactions of industry peers in horizontal foreign acquisitions around ... -
An explainable credit scoring framework: A use case of addressing challenges in applied machine learning
(IEEE, 2022)While Machine Learning (ML) classification algorithms can accurately classify a borrower's credit risk, the determinants of the credit score cannot be interpreted clearly by customers, decision makers and auditors. The ... -
Foreign acquisition and credit risk: Evidence from the U.S. CDS market
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-06-17)This article empirically analyzes the effect of foreign block acquisitions on U.S. target firms' credit risk as measured by their credit default swap (CDS) spreads. Foreign block purchases lead to a greater increase in the ... -
Gender-specific preferences in global performance management - an empirical study of male and female leaders in a multinational context
(Wiley, 2015-01)This study investigates gender-specific preferences in one important human resource management (HRM) practice—namely, global performance management (GPM). GPM has major consequences for the career advancement of women and ... -
Global trends in liquidity creation: The role of the off-balance sheet
(Peter Lang AG, 2019-03-28)Banks create liquidity by transforming liquid liabilities into illiquid assets and this is one of their main functions. Yet excessive liquidity creation, especially via off-balance sheet activities, might have contributed ... -

Managerial discretion and efficiency of internal capital markets
(Elsevier, 2021-10)I use the staggered adoption of state-level antitakeover laws to provide causal evidence that managerial agency problems reduce the allocative efficiency of conglomerate firms. I find that increases in control slack following ... -

(American Marketing Association, 2016-02)This study examines the relationship between customer satisfaction, loyalty intention and shareholder value at the firm and individual customer level. The authors also explore industry differences by using a multilevel and ... -
Numerical discretization of stochastic oscillators with generalized numerical integrators
(Vinča Institute of Nuclear Sciences, 2021)In this study, we propose a numerical scheme for stochastic oscillators with additive noise obtained by the method of variation of constants formula using generalized numerical integrators. For both of the displacement and ... -
On the numerical schemes for Langevin-type equations
(Karaganda University, 2020)In this paper, a numerical approach is proposed based on the variation-of-constants formula for the numerical discretization Langevin-type equations. Linear and non-linear cases are treated separately. The proofs of ... -
Political connections and informed trading: Evidence from TARP

Price of regulations: Regulatory costs and the cross-section of stock returns

Product market competition and the value of diversification
(Elsevier, 2023-12)I examine how industry concentration affects the value of diversification. I find that con- glomerates that operate mainly in concentrated industries (concentrated conglomerates) have higher diversification values. Using ... -
A prudential paradox: The signal in (not) restricting bank dividends
(Wiley, 2022)By restricting dividends in the weakest banks, prudential regulators counterintuitively induce more capital payouts in marginal banks. The potential for bank runs exacerbates the incentive to signal strength through dividend ... -
The real estate and credit bubble: evidence from Spain
