Research

Her research interests are mainly focused around information and capital markets. She studies how accounting information affects firm stakeholders such as managers or investors. Her research also tries to understand how the timing of information disclosure to investors affects firms, their values and stakeholders.

Her most cited article in the Journal of Finance studies how during Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), some companies and their financial issuers can report higher accruals. [4] This makes the companies look more successful than they actually are and can impact the outcome of an IPO.

In another widely cited paper in the Journal of Finance, she looks at CEO overconfidence. [5] [6] The paper finds that companies with overconfident CEO (according to proximate metrics) invest more in innovation. They also obtain more patents and patent citations. On the negative side, they suffer from greater return volatility.

Her research has been cited just short of 28000 times [7] and she is the 145th most cited female economist according to RePEC. [8] Her research has been cited in Forbes, [6] Bloomberg [9] and Der Spiegel. [10]

An initial public offering (IPO) or stock launch is a public offering in which shares of a company are sold to institutional investors and usually also to retail (individual) investors. An IPO is typically underwritten by one or more investment banks, who also arrange for the shares to be listed on one or more stock exchanges. Through this process, colloquially known as floating, or going public, a privately held company is transformed into a public company. Initial public offerings can be used to raise new equity capital for companies, to monetize the investments of private shareholders such as company founders or private equity investors, and to enable easy trading of existing holdings or future capital raising by becoming publicly traded.
