Research

Research Interests:

My research interests lie primarily in the fields of behavioural finance, investments, governance and international finance, with a special interest in investor sentiment, capital flows and board composition. My research explores the asset pricing implications of various investor sentiment measures. Currently, I am working on several topics including exploring the determinants of capital flows as well as its effect on emerging stock market returns and volatility, the significance of monetary policy shocks on capital flows, and the role of various governance measures in affecting firm performances.
