This study presents a theoretical model that links chief executive officer (CEO) overconfidence to the
value loss of corporate diversification. Consistent with the model’s prediction, the findings show that
diversified firms run by overconfident CEOs experience value loss compared to diversified firms run
by their rational counterparts. Empirically, the value loss is economically significant and ranges
between 12.5% and 14.1% [...]

Theory and previous empirical studies suggest that CEO risk preferences affect hedging. We challenge this idea in a 5-year time series setting by using inside debt (i.e., CEO pension and deferred compensation) and the CEO Vega and CEO Delta, as proxies of CEO risk preferences, and document that [...]

Is European fund management selectivity skill (1 − R2)profitable (alpha)? To examine this question, we use a sample of 2,947 actively managed domestic equity mutual funds from 11 European countries. We find that high fund selectivity generates significant investor gains. The results are robust to [...]
EUROPEAN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT,forthcoming (Feng Dong, co-author)
It is often argued that the popularity of Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in terms of higher number of listings relative to the Main Market (MM) is mainly due to the strict listing requirements in the MM. During the 1995 to 2014 period [...]

This study examines whether risk aversion-inducing CEO compensation motivates managers to
pay more dividends regardless of investor preferences. Using inside debt (i.e., pensions and
deferred compensation) and the sensitivity of CEO equity [...]
CORPORATE FINANCE, forthcoming (Deren Caliskan, co-author)
The security market line (SML) accords with the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) by taking on an
upward slope in pessimistic sentiment periods, but is downward sloping during optimistic periods. We
hypothesize that this finding obtains [...]

This paper examines the bonding effect of cross-listing before and after the stock market liberalization reforms in China. Consistent with the bonding hypothesis, we find that Chinese firms with foreign listings attain higher valuations than firms without foreign listings. We also find [...]

This paper addresses the information asymmetry between Chinese local A-share and foreign B-share markets and its impact on the B-share discount puzzle, contingent upon Chinese stock market liberalization reforms in 2001 and 2002. In contrast with the [...]

This study examines whether technical currency trading by individual currency traders is
profitable. The results show technical analysis is negatively associated with performance.
Further, the technical trading model developed here adequately describes the cross-section of
returns for individual currency traders. [...]
JOURNAL OF PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT, 2012, 39, 1,142-150 (Abbey Boris, co-author)
We consider whether sentiment affects the profitability of momentum strategies. We hypothesize
that news that contradicts investors’ sentiment causes cognitive dissonance, slowing the diffusion
of such news. Thus, losers (winners) become [...]

and its impact on capital structure over the period 1970–2006. We find that
perceived capital market [...]
