As a department, we invest heavily in our research-related infrastructure to create an environment in which ideas flourish and staff members can reach their full research potential.
The research in the department is organised into five broad research areas, with some spanning interdisciplinary research themes aligned with those in the Centre for Financial Econometrics, Asset Markets and Macroeconomic Policy and the Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business.
Our faculty have published in some of the field's best journals, including: Journal of Accounting and Economics, Accounting Review, Review of Accounting Studies, Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial Economics, Review of Financial Studies, Management Science, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Journal of Econometrics, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, and Journal of Financial Econometrics.
