New website for nonstandard errors project
The coordinators of the nonstandard errors project, which came out earlier this year in the Journal of Finance (the full paper is here: https://doi.org/10.1111/jofi.13337), have produced a short video explaining the main findings. The video is part of a website providing access to data and other materials that we used in the research project: https://nonstandarderrors.com/.
New paper documents non-standard errors
When researchers analyze data for hypothesis testing, they make many small decisions on how to handle data and how to run analysis. Variation in these small decisions adds up to considerable differences across findings. In our new paper in Journal of Finance (https://doi.org/10.1111/jofi.13337), we show how this comes about and discuss what it means for

Mein erster Beitrag für Jurist:innen
Juristische Texte waren bisher nicht meine Lieblingslektüre. Selbst einen zu schreiben war auch nicht ganz oben auf meiner Wish-List. Mit der HIlfe von Christian Richter-Schöller und Andreas Zahradnik habe ich meine Meinung geändert, und es war eine Freude, einen Beitrag zur Bedeutung von nachhaltiger Finanzierung im Kapitalmarkt zu schreiben. Ohne meinen versierten Juristenkollegen und Koautoren
Cross-national distance data
We provide the data on information distance from our recent paper ‘Information distance: Conceptual development and empirical tests of a novel measure of cross-national distance’ on cross-national distance here. We have computed information distance scores for many country pairs and years (more than 10,000 annual distances from 2008 to 2022), and provide them in the
New paper in GSJ

We highlight the role of ownership concentration and capital market characteristics in the empirical design. The paper is available here: http://doi.org/10.1002/gsj.1494.

Research report on non-standard errors
Together with Simon Hartmann, and a group of 100+ co-author teams, I have contributed to a research report indicating that the approach researchers take to testing hypotheses makes a big difference in terms of findings in quantitative empirical research. The research report is now forthcoming in the Journal of Finance. The last working paper version
New paper on asymmetric risk preferences and corporate capital structure
In our new paper (co-authored with Jonas Puck and Giulia Stocco), we connect prospect theory and the static trade-off theory of capital structure, using international variation in asymmetric risk preferences. The paper is available online-first here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ibusrev.2022.102067.
