Finance Group main areas of research: 

• Asset Pricing 
• Banking and other Financial Institutions 
• Corporate Finance 
• Financial Derivatives 

The Finance Research Group works both on theoretical and empirical issues in mainstream research areas such as corporate finance, asset pricing (both theoretical and empirical), banking and other financial institutions, mathematical finance and monetary policy, focusing on changes and innovation in financial markets. 

Main achievements 2013-2017: 

i) The group published 27 papers in ABS 4*, ABS 4 or ABS 3 journals.

ii) Group research in international financial reporting, namely non-GAAP reporting in Europe, has influenced not only investors and creditors who use information about earnings (both GAAP and non-GAAP) in their financing decisions, but also regulators and financial analysts who construct projects about a firm’s future cash flows.

iii) Invitation to the 2017 IASB Research to provide academic feedback to a new project of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) called “What is EBIT?”. This project intends to provide a clear definition of recurring performance, avoiding inconsistent and opportunistic reporting of performance measures by companies.

iv) Findings of the study of the dividend payouts of U.S. bank holding companies before and during the 2007-09 financial crisis have had implications for corporate finance and governance theories, as well as for the regulatory reforms being discussed among policymakers. 

v) Organisation of the IFABS (International Finance and Business Society) Conference in 2014.
