My latest paper was just published at Business & Politics! I explore the often overlooked ripple effects of state-sponsored cyber attacks on the stock market dynamics of cybersecurity defense contractors. Grateful to colleagues and reviewers for comments!

My latest article just published at JPR!🥳🎉 I examine the puzzle of why cyber economic espionage is largely restricted to a small set of advanced economies. Part of a special issue edited by Daphna Canetti
and Ryan Shandler.

Forthcoming at JPR!🥳 I examine the puzzle of why cyber economic espionage is largely restricted to a small set of advanced economies. Hint: the complexity of their product profiles has a lot to do with it😁
