Alyssa Rusonik

Welcome to my website! I am a fifth-year PhD student in Finance at HEC Paris.
My research lies at the intersection of financial economics and decision theory. I am particularly interested in belief-formation and its consequences for outcomes including asset prices, information acquisition, and investment behavior. In my work, I pair formal models from microeconomic and finance theory with text-as-data approaches, historical data, and experiments.
I am on the 2026-2027 academic job market.
You can reach me at alyssa.rusonik@hec.edu, and my CV is available here.
