Professor Tom Smith - Finance

ANU offers an American style PhD in Finance.  PhD students are offered coursework in the initial first two years, however, research is the key focus.  Here at ANU, PhD students learn the state of the art in their field and how to do research.

As a supervisor, Tom’s door is always open and a PhD student can come and see him, call him on his mobile, or e-mail him whenever they have a question or an issue.

Tom has an established track record in the US and Australia of turning out high quality academics from the PhD program.  Many of Tom’s former students are now tenured Professors in the US and Australia and regularly achieve Tier 1 publications.

Professor Steve Dowrick – Economics

ANU offers its PhD economics students a full year of intensive graduate coursework, which brings them close to the research frontier across a range of subjects.  It also introduces them to Professors who might become their supervisors.

A student interested in higher degree research in economics should consider ANU because it has Australia's best group of research economists who can supervise students to the highest international standards.  An important benefit is that many students publish their work in international refereed journals even before they have submitted their thesis.

My research interests include work on economic growth and international comparisons of real income.
