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 the Journal of Accounting and Economics, the Accounting Review, the Review of Accounting Studies, the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Financial Economics, and the Review of Financial Studies, Management Science, the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, the Journal of Econometrics, the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, and the Journal of Financial Econometrics.
