Roxana Mihet is Assistant Professor of Finance at the University of Lausanne. She has received multiple awards for her research, including a Cubist Systematic Strategies PhD Candidate Award for Outstanding Research at the Western Finance Association, and a research grant from the Sandoz Family Foundation Monique de Meuron Program for building an interdisciplinary research task force at the University of Lausanne to study both the value and the risks of new financial information technologies.

Expertise

Professor Mihet is studying how the adoption of data-privacy laws—such as the California Consumer Protection Act—that limit the buying and selling of consumer data affects firms. US data reveals that data-privacy laws provide a strong protection and advantage to firms with in-house data on consumers. For example, the products of these firms experience significant appreciations in customer ratings and the firms are able to collect more customer data relative to their competitors after the adoption of data-privacy laws. Further analysis reveals that publicly traded firms with in-house data exhibit higher valuations, profitability, and asset utilization, and that the earnings of such firms can be more accurately predicted by analysts.
