Research interests

My principal research interests focus on a range of issues in empirical finance particularly with respect to international finance or emerging markets. Previously I have worked on topics related to asset pricing and return predictability specifically investigating the ability of consumption asset pricing models to either explain or predict asset return behaviour and how asset prices respond to changes in monetary policy. Alongside this work I have looked at the role of both linear and nonlinear models in forecasting asset returns and the ability of various financial and macroeconomic variables to predict returns. Currently I have a number of projects focussing on  issues in market microstructure (particularly looking at price discovery, trade intensity) and issues relating to integration and comovement in international financial markets (particularly with respect to emerging markets and financial crises and contagion). Currently my research agenda focuses on the following areas:
 

  •     Market microstructure.
  •     Emerging markets finance.
  •     Market segmentation/integration.
  •     Contagion and financial crises.

Prospective PhD Students

Prospective students

I am not currently considering applications from prospective PhD students.

Prospective students interested in researching issues dealing with topics within my current research areas are advised to contact my Finance colleagues to seek availability and interest.

When available, I supervise high calibre PhD students and encourage applications from those with a keen interest in any research area that overlaps with my own research interests. E.g. asset pricing, market microstructure, international finance, contagion and financial crises. More specifically, current and future topics would include:

  •     Market Microstructure: Issues of price discovery, trade intensity and trading behaviour. 
  •     Asset pricing and return predictability: Understanding emerging/developing markets, new assets and markets (e.g. cryptocurrency, green finance, climate change). 
  •     International Finance: In addition to the consideration of market microstructure and asset pricing in international makets: issues of integration, correlation and comovement, contagion and financial crisis. 

Applicants should have a first class/upper second class undergraduate degree and a distinction performance (>=70%) at Masters level.
Applicants should have a good background in Financial Econometrics and knowledge of software packages such as Matlab, Stata, R is an advantage.

Please contact me informally via email if you wish to discuss potential supervision.

Please note: Details of available funding are provided on the AMBS funding page. The funding round usually takes place in February/March and early applications are encouraged.
