Research & background

About me

I am a financial economist and an Associate Professor of Finance at Kenan-Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

My research interests include macro-finance and asset pricing. My projects focus on two agendas:

Uncertainty, growth & asset prices

I study how fluctuations in uncertainty help explain asset prices and economic growth, examining the macroeconomic and financial implications of different facets of uncertainty.

Production decisions & risk premia

I document relationships between firms’ production decisions and risk premia and explain them quantitatively in production economies. I focus primarily on production networks and multi-sector structures.

I received my PhD and MA in Finance from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and an MBA and BA in Computer Science from The Open University of Israel. I completed my undergraduate studies while still in high school.
