Finance Fridays @ Anderson: Faculty Profile – Mark Garmaise
It’s #FinanceFriday! For those interested in entering the Finance Industry, UCLA Anderson’s MBA program features a strong Finance program, including access to the Fink Center for Finance & Investments and multiple Finance Clubs. Our UCLA Anderson MBA students enter a post-MBA job in Finance, including Investment Banking, Investment Management, Diversified Financial Services, and Private Equity & Venture Capital.
So in honor of #FinanceFriday, we’re highlighting one of our esteemed UCLA Anderson faculty in finance, Professor Mark Garmaise:
Name: Mark Garmaise
College & Major: Harvard, A.B. Mathematics & Philosophy (Magna Cum Laude)
Graduate School: Stanford Graduate School of Business, Ph.D. Finance
Prior to joining UCLA Anderson: Assistant Professor at Chicago Booth
While at UCLA Anderson: In addition to being a Finance Professor, Professor Garmaise also served as dean of the full-time MBA program between 2014 & 2015.
Research Focus: As a corporate finance scholar, Garmaise has focused his research on using empirical data to investigate the effects of asymmetric information and incomplete contracting as they relate to real estate markets and entrepreneurial firms. Although the theory of asymmetric information and incomplete contracting is well-developed, there has been little research into the empirical identification of cause and effect in markets. With careful and ingenious data analysis, his papers have made valuable contributions in these important but neglected areas.
Primary Research Interests: Corporate Finance, Real Estate, Entrepreneurship and Banking
Accomplishments: He is an award-winning instructor and highly respected authority on finance, venture capital and private equity. With his co-author Tobias Moskowitz (Ph.D. ’98), he received the 2004 BGI Brennan Award for the best paper published and the 2005 BGI Brennan Runner-Up Award for the best paper published, both in the Review of Financial Studies. He has been recognized with numerous awards and has published in numerous journals, including the Review of Financial Studies, The Journal of Finance and the Quarterly Journal of Economics.
