Research summary
AI-generated

Kewei Hou studies empirical asset pricing and corporate finance, focusing on how stock, bond, and currency prices relate to company fundamentals, credit risk, and investor behavior. His work includes building and testing factor models that explain patterns of stock returns (such as momentum and value effects), and examining topics like corporate R&D, debt structure, bank risk, and cross-country market anomalies. This research is generally aimed at understanding what drives asset returns and how well existing financial theories hold up when tested rigorously across different markets.
