Ran Duchin

Ran Duchin

Assistant Professor of Finance



PhD, University Of Southern California
MBA, Hebrew University
BA, Hebrew University

Ran Duchin's research interests are in corporate finance and corporate governance. His recent work in corporate finance studies the connection between the organization form of the firm and its cash policy. He shows that diversified firms hold less cash when their investment opportunities are less correlated across divisions. His recent work in corporate governance studies the effectiveness of outside directors in different information settings. Using the exogenous impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley act of 2002, this work shows that increasing outside representation on the board of directors benefited firms with little information asymmetry and hurt firms with high information asymmetry.
