Overview

The research orientation of the finance group at the ANU is broadly based and accepting of interdisciplinary work. Research generally has an empirical slant although the group welcomes research contributions from more theoretical perspectives.

Main research agendas:

  • Corporate financial policy - Mergers and acquisitions, IPOs, corporate governance, corporate restructuring
  • Investments and funds management - Asset pricing, fund performance, volatility, portfolio allocation
  • Derivatives and risk management - Derivative pricing, derivatives usage, risk management strategies
  • International finance - Emerging markets, international asset pricing

These agendas are not limiting but help define the major emphasis of research undertaken by the group.  Staff and graduate students cross over these areas and the group is responsive to the evolution of the discipline.  Research students are encouraged to consider pursuing a thesis along these lines.
