Professor Kalmenovitz is primarily interested in the economics of regulations. Companies view regulation as a major risk factor that profoundly affects every business decision. But there is surprisingly little research on regulation. Even basic questions, such as how to measure regulation, remain unsolved. Professor Kalmenovitz works with large new datasets and relies on his extensive legal training to try and shed light on this fundamental topic. He is also interested in the intersection of finance and labor and in corporate governance.
