My principal research interest lies in the field of empirical finance and stock market behaviour with an emphasis on the behavior of financial analysts, initial public offerings (IPOs), portfolio performance evaluation, and asset pricing and valuation, etc.

Research projects in progress

1) The value of sell-side analysts' advice, e.g., stock recommendations, earnings forecasts, and price target;

2) Corporate reputation;

3) Strategic information disclosures.
