My research interests lie in the interdisciplinary field of International Political Economy, particularly Global Finance (concentration of corporate ownership and control, structural power, financialization, hedge funds, offshore financial centers). I have published a number of peer-reviewed articles on the subjects of hedge funds and offshore finance. In the CORPNET group I focus on the subproject of the re-concentration of corporate ownership through the rise of very large passive asset managers, such as BlackRock and Vanguard – and their impact on corporate governance.
