Dissertation Title: “Market Signaling Effects on Business Performance Outcomes”
Information asymmetry occurs when all parties in a transaction do not have access to the same level of information. As information asymmetry increases, adverse selection problems may increase. Signaling is a successful method marketers use to overcome the problem of information asymmetry in a marketplace. A marketing signal is an activity which provides information beyond the activity itself and reveals insights into the unobservable, such as the intention, motives, goals, or internal situation. This research will examine the manner by which buyers, sellers, and their third-party agents signal to the marketplace their opinions of the most desirable products. The role of the third-party agents in shaping the financial business performance outcomes of the marketplace is of particular interest.

Books
I am lead data analyst for the SSR Group, publishing a research volume twice a year. This research represents a groundbreaking approach to studying the performance of Thoroughbred Stallions. The work done with the SSR is both descriptive and predictive in nature- my co-author and I present rigorous, unbiased analysis of what has happened in the past, and also make predictions about what we believe will happen in the future. While this project is still relatively young, we are now beginning to validate our initial predictions and are demonstrating excellent results. Through the SSR research, I have curated one of the most valuable racing databases in the industry, with detailed data on nearly 40,000 successful racehorses. This publication is intended for a practitioner audience, and the 18 SSR clients represent some of the largest and most successful racing and breeding operations worldwide.
