Welcome to my homepage.
I am Professor of Financial Economics at HUmboldt University in Berlin and a founding member of the European Corporate Governance Institute.

Past affiliations: University of Vienna, where I received my Habilitation in 2007. From 2007 to 2011, I taught at MIT's Sloan School and at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Vienna, from where I co-founded the Vienna Graduate School of Finance.

I am very grateful for resarch fellowships at Vanderbilt University's Financial Markets Research Centre (2011) and at the Center on the Foundations of Law and Finance at Goethe University Frankfurt (since 2024).
