About
Manav Chaudhary is an Assistant Professor of Finance at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His research focuses on how institutions — such as banks, dealers, hedge funds, insurers, central banks, foreign investors, regulators — behave, interact with one another, and how this then shapes asset prices. His work addresses three core questions: who holds and trades assets; how the constraints and beliefs of those investors shape these decisions; and what this then ultimately means for the dynamics of asset prices. His papers develop methods and apply them to questions such as: who drives U.S. Treasury yields, how regulatory risk models coordinate and drive financial institution allocations, and what dealer balance-sheet costs imply for bond prices.
Manav holds a PhD in Financial Economics from the University of Chicago, jointly awarded by the Department of Economics and the Booth School of Business, and a BSc and MSc in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics from LSE. Before his PhD, he worked as a macroeconomist at Goldman Sachs.
