Itzhak Ben-David Corporate finance, real estate markets
Itzhak (Zahi) Ben-David, Assistant Professor of Finance, is an economist and avid observer of human behavior. While a PhD student, he interviewed real estate agents about the effect of tax changes on property prices. His resulting research on the so-called "cashback transaction" - where borrowers could borrow 100 percent or more of the house's value - shed light on the ticking bomb that was the U.S. housing sub-prime market. His story appeared originally in The New York Times Magazine's Freakonomics section when the market was still at its peak, and his foresight earned kudos on the Freakonomics blog.
