Carter Davis

Carter Davis is an Assistant Professor of Finance at The Ohio State University’s Fisher College of Business. He earned his PhD in Finance from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and previously served on the finance faculty at Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business.

Carter’s research sits at the intersection of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and demand-system asset pricing. Recent projects quantify the demand elasticity of quantitative investment strategies, probe why classical portfolio models overstate that elasticity, and explore the limits of factor-model spanning in high-dimensional settings. This agenda has produced articles in leading journals, including the Review of Financial Studies and the Journal of Financial Economics, and underpins a growing pipeline of papers on household demand, capital flows, and equilibrium mispricing. 

Across these studies, Carter combines large-scale ownership data with structural and reduced-form techniques to deliver policy-relevant insights for academics, practitioners, and regulators seeking to understand how demand and supply shape capital markets.
