Research Overview

Touching upon Corporate Finance, Asset Pricing, and Risk Management in the Banking and Finance sector, Professor V.

He also offers a broad overview of the curriculum and highlights the strength of the Area’s faculty body.

Research Spotlight

Mutual funds sahi hain. Are they really? For whom? Given the rise in passive investing, Mareeswaran’s thesis examines the impact of passive investing on managerial decision-making. His study provides valuable insights for regulators, corporate managers, and investors for a better understanding of passive investing.

 

Rajaram’s research question lies at the intersection between labour economics and corporate finance. He examines the information externalities of downsizing for rival firms and finds that that downsizing decisions, which cite declining demand as the reason for layoffs, have a greater contagion effect whereas layoffs, made for efficiency reasons, have a greater competitive spillover effect. His research is of interest to firms and investors alike.

 

Sanchit Jain examines if announcements of equity financing decisions by group-affiliated firms have any spillover effects on the market value of their member firms. If so, what factors explain this spillover? His study has been carried out in India, but the results are broadly expected to hold in all markets with business groups.
