Finance and Macroeconomics

The Finance and Macroeconomics GIEE investigates the manner in which financial markets and companies interact in the global world. It also seeks to understand the impact of the decisions made by public and private agents in conditions of real economic activity and the industrial structure at the international, national and regional levels.

Its research areas include:

  • corporate government and financial strategy (e.g., dividend policy, corporate strategy, mergers and acquisitions)
  • financial markets (e.g., portfolio optimization, risk management, derivatives)
  • interaction of monetary and fiscal policy with the real economy (e.g., the way in which macroeconomic forces shape the economy and affect regions, industries and companies)
  • behavioral economics and finance
  • and emerging financial technologies (e.g., fintech, blockchain, AI, business analytics, etc.)
