Dr. Clampit's research focuses on relationships between the institutional characteristics of markets that firms operate in and firm conduct/performance (e.g., market location choice and entry mode). This includes the study of distal links, such as institutional antecedents (e.g., the interaction of culture, historical path dependencies, and cognitive bias) and societal outcomes (e.g., poverty alleviation, sustainable development). His ultimate goal is to develop a robust research program comprised of a full complement of studies (employing multiple settings, methods, and levels of analysis) that informs our understanding of the following chain of relationships: Institutional Antecedents, Institutions, Firm Conduct, Firm Performance, and Societal Outcomes.
