Research Themes and Scholarly Interests

Causal Inference
Performance of Fund Managers
Group Differences
Non/Statistical Discrimination

My research explores how stereotypes and perceptions influence the dynamics of the financial sector, with a particular focus on fund management - including mutual funds, hedge funds, and individual financial managers. I investigate how factors such as ethnicity, race, gender, and other individual characteristics may intersect with financial decision-making, career progression, and broader industry practices.
