About me
I am an assistant professor of finance at Utrecht University School of Economics.
I got my PHD from the University of Lausanne (UNIL) and Swiss Finance Institute.
My research is on how beliefs and optimal behavior in financial markets are affected by information frictions, both theoretically and empirically. Return predictability driven by technological developments, shifts in trade-offs in regulatory interventions introduced by asymmetric information, and incentives for communication. All topics are related by the theme of learning under various forms of uncertainty.
