Research

Overview

My main research interest is in arbitrage-free asset pricing models and I have recently been using these to model long term consumption and investment decisions and the valuation of distressed assets. I also work on issues in macro-finance, financial risk management and financial regulation. I am currently working on the following topics:

Long-term consumption and investment optimisation
Macro-finance models of international spillovers and the exchange rate
Default risk in the inter-bank market
