Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Caleb Rawson's research investigates how managerial decisions and external factors influence corporate disclosure and insider trading. His work examines the strategic use of information release, such as through press releases and 8-K filings, and how these choices are perceived by managers. Rawson has studied the impact of externally hired chief executive officers on firms and the role of geographic connections to China in insider trading activity, particularly during the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. He also explores the relationship between local news intensity and a firm's information environment, suggesting that a lack of news can be detrimental. His research includes an analysis of index fund ownership and its implications for trading behavior.
