Financial Economics

Our research applies concepts from behavioural finance, psychology and economics to investor behaviour, incentives and risk perceptions and inter-firm relationships. This includes modelling and forecasting aspects of asset price behaviour and the relationship with both market risk and the wider macro-economy, and the implications for asset pricing and asset and R&D management. These relationships have implications for the stability of the financial system as well as acting as indicators for economic wellbeing.
