Sangmin Simon Oh [oh@gsb.columbia.edu]

Assistant Professor of Finance, Columbia Business School

My research is broadly within economics and finance, focusing on asset pricing, investments, and insurance. My work focuses on how market structures and societal shifts shape the pricing and allocation of risk across financial markets, with a focus on investor behavior and often leveraging ML/AI tools.

Nota Bene

• I earned my Ph.D. in Financial Economics from the University of Chicago’s Booth School and the Griffin Department of Economics. Before that, I graduated from Penn’s M&T Program with degrees in Finance and Electrical Engineering, and worked at AQR and Forefront Capital.
• I run a daily listserv called "Plausibly Exogenous." You can sign up here and view past emails here.
• More recently, I started a new blog with Ben Marrow called "Better Know a Dataset." which showcases interesting datasets and analyses. I also have a weekly article round-up, which grew out of a course I teach at Columbia.
• We couldn't find time for a finance research podcast, so AI is doing one for us (for now). Listen here (for PhD students) and here (for MBA students).
