We welcome research interests and project proposals, theoretical or empirical, in areas such as asset pricing, corporate finance, corporate governance, portfolio management, banking, market microstructure, experimental finance, and behavioral finance. After successful completion of the program we expect our graduates to be employed at leading academic institutions, research departments of international or national regulatory organizations, or investment firms.
