Janis Berzins
Førsteamanuensis - Institutt for finans
Biografi
I have worked for BI since 2006. I joined BI after graduating from Indiana University Finance Department. In past, I have worked on a consulting project with SEC, as a sales manager, hotel manager, and accountant.
Research areas
My interests are in Corporate Governance, Corporate Finance, and Portfolio Management. Under portfolio management, I am interested in strategy and performance attribution and information processing in mutual fund and institutional money management complexes. I am particularly interested in corporate finance and governance issues of family firms. I work on projects that examine issues such as the resolution of agency issues in private firms via dividend policy and the link between individual liquidity needs and activities in firms owned by these individuals. My interests include shocks generated by wealth tax changes.
Teaching areas
I have taught Applied Valuation, CFA Institute Reseach Challenge course, Managerial Accounting (MBA), Investment (undergraduate), Market Microstructure (undergraduate), International Finance (undergraduate, graduate, MBA, excecutive MBA), Basic Financial Management (undergraduate), Financial Intermediation and Banking (graduate). I am interested in integrating case-based teaching in otherwise regular courses.
