Research Goals

Ansley Chua primarily studies the initial public offerings of firms. His research examines the effects on the IPO of both external factors, such as industry valuations, as well as internal factors, such as executive compensation and insider selling. He also studies behavioral finance and how investors’ irrationality may impact aspects of the financial markets.
