Çelim Yıldızhan, Research & Ideas
About Me
My name is Çelim Yıldızhan. I earned my PhD in finance at the University of Michigan in 2011 and my thesis focused on better understanding the pricing of default risk in equity markets. Since then I have broadened my interests to study supplier-customer links, impact of organizational complexity on pricing, household finance and impact of relative performance evaluation contracts on firm outcomes. I served as an Assistant Professor of Finance at the Terry College of Business at the University of Georgia from 2011 to 2019. In December 2019, I joined Koç University in İstanbul, Turkey as an Assistant Professor of Accounting and Finance. As of Fall 2024 I am serving as an Assistant Professor of Finance at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas on leave from Koç University.
