Tam Le

I am a third-year PhD student in the Department of Economics at the University of Toronto.
My research interests include macroeconomics, firm dynamics, innovation, intangible capital, financial frictions, corporate finance, and banking. My current research studies how firms’ financing conditions, access to credit, and investment in tangible and intangible capital affect innovation, productivity, growth, and survival.
I am particularly interested in the interaction between firm dynamics and financial markets, including how banks, lending relationships, and financial regulation shape firms’ decisions and economic outcomes.
