My name is Amir Gholami. I recently joined the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater after completing my doctoral studies in finance at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
My research focuses on corporate finance, with some elements of asset pricing. Specifically, my work examines CEO compensation, stock price crash risk, the effects of cybersecurity risk and biodiversity risk on the cost of capital, and credit risk. For more information about my research projects, please visit my Research page.
I have taught several courses, including Risk Management, Financial Derivatives, Corporate Finance, and Business Statistics. I am also prepared to teach a broad range of undergraduate finance courses, such as Corporate Finance, Investments, Financial Markets and Institutions, Money and Banking, Risk Management, Financial Technology, and Derivatives.
