Cyrus Khalvati
Ph.D. Candidate in Management
University of Missouri
Hi! My name is Cyrus, I am a Ph.D. candidate in Management at the Trulaske College of Business at the University of Missouri.
My research examines how the design of human resource practices both predicts and shapes performance outcomes at employee and firm levels. My work has been invited for revision at the Journal of Applied Psychology and Personnel Psychology.
I completed my undergraduate studies in Vancouver, Canada, where I was born and raised.
I am eligible for the TN Visa for employment in the U.S. and do not require an H1-B visa.
Outside of research and teaching, I enjoy playing basketball, watching professional Esports, and spending time with friends and family.

We study [research topic and setting]. Large [subjects] generated [finding one] before [period], driven by [mechanism], but have [finding two] since. The median [subject] [finding three]. Due to [constraint], [subjects] increase [behavior]. Over time, [outcome], reducing [consequence].
[Research question and motivation.] This paper causally examines [topic] to evaluate [trade-off]. I find that [main result]. I instrument for [variable] using [instrument]. These effects are stronger for [subsample]. The results are driven by [mechanism] which results in [long-term outcome].
Do [research question]? A causal effect is difficult to identify because [endogeneity concern]. We develop an instrument using [instrument]. We show [main result]: a [X]% increase in [treatment] reduces [outcome] by [Y] percentage points. [Additional finding]. We find no change in [null result], in part because [explanation].
This paper studies the effects of [topic] on [outcome]. I use novel data from [data source] to document [descriptive finding]. [Units] are significantly more likely to [behavior] before [event]. I find some evidence of [secondary result] with an instrumental variables approach built around [instrument] confirming these results.
[Prior work] estimates that [finding] decreases by [X] percent more under [condition A] than [condition B]. I document that [Y] percent of this magnitude is attributable to [mechanism]. I find no effect when extending results to [period]. I document an increase in [outcome] which suggests [implication]. These results cast doubt on [prior claim].
