- Additional information
- Published in the British Journal of Management (4 ranking in ABS), this research draws on rare interviews with hedge funds that manage billions of dollars in assets. Hedge funds are exceptionally secretive about their operations, making this publication unparalleled in the literature. The findings of the paper provide unique insights into the mechanisms that contributed to the Global Financial Crisis. The paper engages in a debate around ethical-social concerns, using a combination of methodologies including rigorous social network analysis to probe into the mechanisms governing these practices. The paper was presented at Harvard Business School by two of its authors.
