Financial markets
Members of the financial markets group produce research of the highest international standard.
News and forthcoming events
- Artur Doshchyn’s paper “Sinking Ships: Liquidity Constraints and Return Predictability in Recessions” has been accepted for publication at the Journal of Monetary Economics.
-
The paper focuses on the issues of mispricing of real assets during recessions, when liquidity constraints faced by firms result in cash-in-the-market pricing and high expected returns for the buyers. The paper presents both empirical evidence and a structural model that can quantitatively account for it.

-
Ran Tao's paper “The Female Finance Penalty: Why Are Women Less Successful in Academic Finance Than Related Fields?” has been conditionally accepted at Research Policy.
-
The paper studies the publication patterns of male and female finance scholars, contrasting them with their counterparts in the related fields of accounting, economics and general management by analysing a large panel of more than 400,000 journal outputs spanning over two decades. Read the full paper.
