Self-introduction
Corporate governance emeges from the relationship between managers and investors. However, both parties are not fully rational as their decisions are also affected by cognitive psychology. In this context, I am interested in studying the effect of managerial biases and irrational investors on firms' activities, especially on corporate social responsibility. I would like to explore the driving forces behind managers and investors' decisions and how government and policy makers can utilize those findings to orientate companies to act more efficiently and responsibly.
