Chair, Finance Department and
Glenn Klimek Professor of Finance

Meir Statman is the Glenn Klimek Professor of Finance at the Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University.

His research focuses on behavioral finance. He attempts to understand how investors and managers make financial decisions and how these decisions are reflected in financial markets.

The questions he addresses include: What is the nature of risk? How do investors form portfolios? What determines expected returns? What is the effect of sentiment? Why are investors reluctant to realize losses? Why do investors have different rules for spending from capital and income? What kinds of securities do investors like? What forces shape financial regulation?

Meir's research has been published in The Journal of Finance, The Journal of Financial Economics, Financial Analysts Journal, The Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis and many other journals. The research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, the Research Foundation of the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts and the Dean Witter Foundation.
