Biography

Pablo Slutzky is Assistant Professor of Finance at the Fox School of Business, Temple University. He received his PhD in Finance from Columbia University and conducts research at the intersection of corporate finance, financial intermediation, crime, and public policy. His work examines how regulations, illicit economic activity, and institutional frictions shape financial markets, banking behavior, and firm outcomes. Before joining Temple, he worked at the University of Maryland.

Dr. Slutzky's research explores the unintended consequences of financial regulation and enforcement, with a particular focus on anti-money laundering policies, bank lending, capital flows, and the interaction between financial institutions and criminal activity. His work has also examined topics including pretrial detention, organized crime, depositor behavior, corporate regulation, and credit allocation. By combining detailed administrative, banking, and legal datasets, his research sheds light on how financial systems respond to regulatory and economic shocks and how these responses affect firms, households, and local economies.

His research has been published in leading academic journals, including the Review of Financial Studies, Journal of Financial Economics, Management Science, and Review of Finance, with forthcoming work in the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis and the Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization.

In addition to his research, Dr. Slutzky is an award-winning teacher.
