Professor Patel Presents at ABA 'Next Generation' Conference

Patel presented a joint work with Columbia Law School Professor Merritt Fox titled “Common Ownership: Do Managers Really Compete Less?” The paper relates to the common ownership question, which inquires whether large institutional investors’ concurrent ownership interests in rival firms is causing firms to compete less.
