“Better Tax Enforcement Can Moderate AirBnB’s Pressure on Housing Costs” (with Jesse Ellis, David Kenchington, and Roger White) Forthcoming at the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis
Using housing data from the state of Florida, we find that tax agreements between AirBnB and local counties that have AirBnB automatically collect and remit relevant taxes reduce the increase in housing costs over our sample period.
“Do sin tax hikes spur cheating in interpersonal exchange?“ (with David Kenchington, Tom Shohfi, and Roger White)
Accounting, Organizations, and Society (2022), Volume 96
Using data on NYC taxi cab drivers and an increase in the cigarette excise tax, we find evidence that suggests that a tax increase does increase the propensity to cheat outside the tax compliance decision.
“Timing CEO Turnovers: Evidence from Delegation in Mergers and Acquisitions” (with Daniel Greene)
Journal of Banking and Finance (2021), Volume 126
We find evidence that suggests managerial involvement in mergers and acquisitions can be an important part of orderly CEO succession.
“How Does Acquisition Experience Affect Managerial Career Outcomes?” (with Daniel Greene)
Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (2021), 56 (4), 1381-1407

“Corruption and Corporate Innovation“ (with Jesse Ellis and Roger White)
Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (2020) Volume 55, Issue 7, pp. 2124 – 2149
Firms in more corrupt areas of the U.S. produce fewer patents and patents of lower quality than similar firms in non-corrupt areas.
“Bulk Volume Classification and Information Detection“ (with Marios Panayides and Tom Shohfi)
Journal of Banking and Finance (2019) Volume 103, Pages 113-129
Traditional algorithms that sign trades as buys or sells no longer seem to relate to informed trading, while the newer bulk volume classification is related to informed trading.
“US Political Corruption and Firm Financial Policies“
Journal of Financial Economics (2016) Volume 121, Issue 2, Pages 350-367
Firms in more corrupt areas of the U.S. tend to hold less cash and more debt than firms in non-corrupt areas.
