Alice Bonaimé

I am an Associate Professor of Finance and the Philip Rhoads Fellow in Finance at the University of Arizona's Eller College of Management. I research empirical corporate finance with a focus on share buybacks (why firms engage in these transactions and their value implications) and mergers and acquisitions (what drives them and their implications for shareholders and stakeholders). I have also studied dividends, insider trading, and short selling. My research has been published in various academic journals (Journal of Financial Economics, Review of Financial Studies, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis,  Management Science, The Accounting Review, Journal of Corporate Finance, and Critical Finance Review) and cited by top news outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Bloomberg, and National Public Radio. I am currently an Associate Editor for the Journal of Corporate Finance. In addition to research, I enjoy teaching corporate finance to undergraduate and MBA/MSF students. I have earned several teaching awards, including being named one of the Poets & Quants Favorite Business Professors in 2020.
