Juan Pedro Gómez

I currently work as a Full Professor at IE University in Madrid, Spain. Previously, I have worked at Universidad Carlos III in Madrid, ITAM in Mexico City, BI in Oslo, UPF in Barcelona, Stern-NYU in New York, and the McCombs School of Business at UT Austin.

My teaching interests include Corporate Finance, Valuation and Portfolio Management in undergraduate, MBAs and Executive Programs.

The overarching topic of my research is compensation incentives. I have studied how to design the compensation of mutual fund portfolio managers (with an emphasis in understanding the role of performance benchmarks) and how to explain the contracts that we observe in practice in the light of agency and contract theory. I also have made contributions on mutual fund performance and fees, corporate governance in developing countries, and executive compensation. Currently, I am interested in ESG metrics in executive compensation, and pay-inequality within firms and its relation with firm performance.

My work has been published in Economic Theory, Finance Research Letters, Journal of Finance, Journal of Finance and Quantitative Analysis, and Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, among other academic outlets. My articles have been cited by the New York Times, the Financial Times, and several Spanish newspapers, including El País.
