RESEARCH INTERESTS
“Ratings based incentives and institutional investor response: Evidence from the mutual fund market”
I show that Morningstar ratings have strong incentive effects on mutual fund portfolio managers. These managers respond to
the ratings’ incentives by trying to improve risk adjusted returns. I show that both investor flow considerations and career
concerns drive managers’ response to ratings
ADDITIONAL RESEARCH
Jody Grewal, Aditya Mohan and Gerardo Pérez-Cavazos, Payment practices transparency and customer-supplier
contracting
We exploit the 2017 introduction of Payment Practices Disclosure Regulation in the United Kingdom to examine the effects
of mandating disclosure on customer-supplier payment practices. We find that non-disclosing small and medium-sized
enterprises (SMEs) reduce their accounts receivable by 7.0%. Cross-sectional tests indicate that higher expected reputational
costs drive large firms to accelerate the payment of their accounts payable. Further, SMEs with stronger competitive
positions and lower financial constraints are better able to capture the benefits.

Wilbur Chen and Aditya Mohan, Data driven technologies and the diminished impact of local newspapers in bank lending
markets
We examine the effects of local newspaper closures on information asymmetry between local and nonlocal banks. Local
newspaper closures result in local banks increasing return on assets by 1%. Cross-sectional tests indicate that adoption of
data driven lending technologies by non-local banks reduces local banks’ gains from newspaper closures.
