Our research spans five key areas: Economic Development and Institutions, Empirical Finance, Accountancy and Corporate Governance, Macroeconomics and Banking. Faculty members in these programs examine critical issues including unemployment, financial crises, and institutional impacts on economic growth. They employ advanced econometric methods to tackle business and policy challenges while exploring matters tied to European economic integration.
