Brian Kelleher Richter

Assistant Professor of Business, Economics, and Public Policy 

Brian K. RichterStarting in January 2013, I will be joining the University of Texas at Austin's McCombs School as an Assistant Professor in the newly created Business, Government, and Society Department.  Currently,  I am an Assistant Professor in the Business, Economics, and Public Policy faculty at the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario,  where I have been since July 2010.  

I am primarily interested in improving our collective understanding of firms' interactions with governments and other non-market (societal and legal) actors and institutions.  I also am interested in international financial and economic linkages at the firm-level. Consequently, my research and teaching interests span political economy, strategy (particularly non-market & international), finance (particularly corporate & international), international economics, applied microeconomics, and industrial organization.

I defended my PhD in Global Economics & Management  at UCLA's Anderson School in May 2010.   While at UCLA I also earned an M.A. in Economics and a C. Phil. in Management.  My prior education includes an S.B. in Management Science (Finance) from MIT's Sloan School of Management and an M.P.I.A. in Asian Markets & Economies from UCSD's Graduate School of International Relations & Pacific Studies.  Outside academia, I have worked in both the public and private sectors, in the U.S. and abroad, including time with the Federal Reserve (in Washington and San Francisco), the Central Intelligence Agency (in Langley), Nomura Securities (in New York), and Sanwa Bank (in Tokyo).
