Dr. Tianpei Luo is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Accounting, Economics and Finance within the Faculty of Business and Law at Curtin University, Australia. He currently serves as Director of Graduate Research for the school. Luo obtained his PhD from Deakin University in 2016, with a doctoral thesis entitled "The Implications of Family Control and Political Connections: Evidence from China." His primary research specializations encompass political connections, ownership structures such as family firms, cash holdings, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance within Chinese financial markets. These interests are reflected in his Google Scholar profile, which lists family firms, cash holdings, political connections, and Chinese financial markets as key areas.
Luo has authored publications in prestigious journals including the Journal of Corporate Finance, Journal of Banking & Finance, Pacific Basin Finance Journal, Accounting & Finance, and Global Finance Journal. Key works include "How do political connections cause SOEs and non-SOEs to make different M&A decisions?" with Q. Liu and G.G. Tian (Accounting & Finance, 2019, cited over 99 times); "Organization capital and corporate cash holdings" (Journal of Banking & Finance); "The Past is Never Dead: Famine-CEOs and Corporate Social Performance" with X. Fang and S. Pathan (Global Finance Journal, 2023); and contributions to the Journal of Corporate Finance (2015, cited 236 times). One paper earned the Pacific Basin Finance Journal Best Paper Award in 2015. Accumulating over 670 citations, his research has advanced understanding of corporate finance dynamics in emerging markets, particularly China. Luo acts as a reviewer for the Journal of Corporate Finance, International Review of Finance, Accounting & Finance, and The World Economy. He holds an editorial position with Economic Analysis and Policy and is a member of the Accounting & Finance Association of Australia and New Zealand (AFAANZ).
