Biography: 

Dr. Croitoru joined 海外直播b站's Faculty of Management in the Fall of 2000, where he teaches introductory finance, investments and theoretical asset pricing at the undergraduate, masters and doctoral level.

Dr. Croitoru's research has been concerned primarily with the equilibrium pricing of financial assets in the presence of imperfections (such as taxation, transaction costs for the international shipment of goods, or portfolio constraints such as restrictions on short sales). In his doctoral dissertation, he has examined how apparent inconsistencies in asset prices can arise within the framework of a rational equilibrium model. Dr. Croitoru's other research interests include international finance, the role of incomplete information and heterogeneous beliefs, and strategic behavior in financial markets. He has presented his research at the American Finance Association and the Western Finance Association meetings, as well as other conferences and universities in Europe and North America. His research has been published in leading journals including the Journal of Financial Economics, Management Science and the Review of Financial Studies.

Dr. Croitoru currently serves as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs. He is also the Academic Director of the 海外直播b站 Personal Finance Essentials free online course, which has聽attracted over 300,000 participants since it was launched in November 2019.
