Motivated by his investment banking and corporate finance advisory experience at J.P. Morgan, Macquarie Bank and Ernst & Young, Tristan is interested in understanding the impact of financial transactions and financial intermediaries on the real economy. In particular, he is interested in how financial markets and financial intermediaries may actively shape the nature of innovation that is undertaken by firms and entrepreneurs as well as the interrelationship between firm financing structures, external capital markets and corporate innovation strategy. His research also considers how corporate governance and government policy may influence firm strategy and corporate outcomes.
