Tamara Nefedova is an Associate Professor of Finance at ESCP Business School. Her primary research interests lie in empirical corporate finance and capital markets. Her work focuses on understanding how opaque environments can create agency problems, misalign incentives among financial market participants, and impact investor performance. She examines how monitoring can mitigate moral hazard or, conversely, lead to unintended side effects. Her research also explores how institutional investor incentives influence their investment and trading decisions, ultimately shaping outcomes for their clients. Additionally, she investigates the presence of informed trading channels arising from the capital markets design. Tamara has presented her research at major international conferences and published her findings in leading finance journals. She earned her PhD from the Swiss Finance Institute (University of Lugano) and spent a year as a post-doctoral research scholar at NYU Stern School of Business. Before joining ESCP, she held positions as an Assistant Professor and later as an Associate Professor at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL. Tamara is a co-organizer and a member of the scientific committee of the Annual Hedge Fund Research Conference. She also serves on the scientific committee of the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), the French financial market regulator.
