Biography

Joris Kil is a PhD student at the Erasmus School of Economics, affiliated with the Erasmus Research Institute of Management. His research focuses on behavioral corporate finance, particularly concerning acquisitions through the lens of real options theory. In his PhD thesis titled "Acquisitions Behavioral Real Options Lens", he explores the discrepancies between perceived and actual uncertainty at the managerial level and discusses the implications of these findings on acquisition decisions. Joris's investigations reveal that higher acquisition premiums may be justified in the context of consolidation strategies.

He has also been involved in organizing academic conferences, contributing to the academic community at his institution.
