My research is primarily in asset pricing and asset management. In both areas, I strive to understand the sources of outperformance – alphas. In asset pricing, where alphas are plentiful, I test whether our alphas are the result of paper arbitrage trades, exposure to omitted risks, or biases due to the omission of non-equity assets. In asset management, where alphas are scarce, I propose an alternative measure for manager performance.
