In preparation for ABFM’s upcoming conference in Denver, I am doing a series of profiles on the doctoral students on the job market.

Trang Hoang (School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences – University of Texas at Dallas) has titles in several sessions:

• Pension Reforms and Public Sector Turnover (with Evgenia Gorina)
• Costs of Information Asymmetry in Bond Issuance (with Gorina and Jing Wang)
• Board Structure and Pension Investment Performance: Evidence from the Common Agency Approach (with Ken Kriz).

As you would probably guess, her dissertation (supervised by Drs. Evgenia Gorina and Doug Goodman) is on managing public retirement systems. She is lead author on a paper on Public Pension Reform and Collective Bargaining in State and Local Governments in Public Administration Review. She has another paper on pension reforms with a revise and resubmit at the Journal of Public Administration Research & Theory, so she has experience with the top journals of public administration. She has another two papers under review, as well as a published book review.
