Hello, my name is Alexander
I have been working in academia since 2012 and at Lehman College from the City University of New York since 2016. I have published in journals such as Journal of Financial Economics, International Finance and Research Finance Letters. My research has been presented in Financial Management Association (FMA), Southern Finance Association (SFA), Eastern Finance Association (EEA), The Business Association of Latin American Studies (BALAS) and The Latin American Council of Management Schools (CLADEA).
I am also involved in community-based research: “The Case Studies for small businesses” is a project founded in collaboration with Martha Lerski. We are founders of a repertoire of open access case studies addressing concrete Business and community issues specific to participating small companies and
organizations as a way of engaging students, and a step towards serving the Bronx and similar communities. In addition, I am involved in a research project assessing the Financial Literacy for Lehman College undergraduate community in order to develop the foundational work for financial literacy interventions for students.
