Our research strengths are focused around a number of areas. Each of these involves externally funded research, international collaboration and / or the active involvement of doctoral students. Currently, the groups are:
The Economics of Safety, Health, Environment and Risk (ESHER). This group brings together world leading research in health economics and economics of safety and environment. ESHER is co-led by Professor Luke Vale, Health Foundation Chair in Health Economics and Professor Sue Chilton. Its areas of research include:
• Valuing benefits/quantifying preferences in health, safety and environment;
• Development and application of economic evaluation;
• Priority setting in health care; and
• Econometric applications in studies of health, safety and the environment (especially income and health inequalities).
Quantitative Research in Economics and Finance (QREF). This includes staff from the Accounting, Finance and Economics subject areas. The general theme of the group is finance and financial services (banking, insurance, etc.), with an emphasis on risk management. It has strong expertise in quantitative modelling, whether using econometric, mathematical or statistical methods. Its areas of research include:
• Retail financial services - banking and insurance;
• Quantitative risk management - credit risk modelling, density forecasting and value at risk;
• Financial econometrics - bootstrapping and simulation techniques forecasting, interest rate and term structure modelling, modelling contagion, time series nonlinearity, and volatility modelling;
• Financial markets - behavioural finance, statistical arbitrage, stock market microstructure, and technical analysis;
• Financial services industry - corporate pensions and employee benefit provision; and
• Accounting - experimental approaches to the incentive properties underlying the provision of information in agency settings.
Other areas. In addition to these groups, the School offers supervision across the broad range of microeconomics and macroeconomics, and has a good number of doctoral students in these other areas. This includes international economics and labour economics, where we welcome applications. The School plans to launch a new research group in applied and theoretical microeconomics. Prospective applicants are encouraged to examine the research interests of staff.
