Nathalie Moyen is a Professor of Finance and the W.W. Reynolds Capital Markets Program Chair at the Leeds School of Business of the University of Colorado Boulder. One central goal of economics is the desire to maximize well-being. As a consequence, it is vital to allocate our scarce resources wisely. When our financial markets function well, they support the firms that can most efficiently transform those resources using technology-embedded capital assets and labor expertise into goods and services that our society values. To understand the role of finance in society, Nathalie studies firms' capital investment and production decisions and the extent to which these decisions depend on the way they are financed. Her research focuses on some of the most salient interactions between real and financial decisions, such as debt overhang, financial constraints, learning from cash flows, precautionary cash savings, and strategic positioning vis-à-vis rivals, among other topics.
