Max Kagan

I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in Management at Columbia Business School.

My Research

I study how political partisanship and ideology affect business performance. Currently, I'm focused on understanding partisan segregation among employees in the workplace and stakeholder reactions to corporate sociopolitical alignment. My research uses a variety of quantitative empirical techniques, including experiments and analysis of large-scale administrative and commercial data.

Background

I have a PhD in political science from the University of California, Berkeley. Prior to my graduate studies, I worked for several years at McKinsey & Company, where I was based in Dubai and in New York City. I also worked as a private equity investor focused on business services and financial technology as well as for the the Good Jobs Institute, a nonprofit that partners with companies in retail, elder care, and other service industries to create good jobs that enrich the lives of workers while also working towards improving business operations.
