Abstract
This Ph.D. dissertation comprises three independent chapters that focus on
empirical and behavioral corporate finance, including topics such as venture
capital, financial analysts, innovation, and IPOs. The first chapter examines
venture capitalists' reactions following investments in scam startups. The second
chapter explores the impact of financial analysts' busyness on the accuracy of
their forecasts. The third chapter reveals that when more inventors transition to
executive roles after an IPO, the innovation performance of newly public firms
deteriorates.
