Research in Progress

"Bank CEO Overconfidence and Risk-taking" (Planning)
We analyze the contribution of behavioral biases of CEOs, in particular their overconfidence to bank risk-taking.

"Institutional Ownership and IPO Performance" (On-Going)
This study explore the relationship between the degree of institutional ownership and IPO's performance. Since institutional investors are better-informed and have better foresight about IPO's future performance, we expect that IPO firms with continuously high institutional ownership will tend to have better performance, both in short term and long term.
