Ph.D. students currently under supervision
I have several PhD students at present: Deirdre Reilly is examining the interrelationship between the housing market, real estate in general, and the macroeconomy; Marco Lazzarino is examining the possibility of statistical arbitrage in precious metals markets; Sarah Reilly is using Markov switching models to investigate merger waves. Fergal O’Connor will be joining me from September to investigate issues in relation to the gold market.
I’m always open to good ideas in relation to supervision, in particular aspects around contagion, behavioural finance, precious metals, and international financial integration. Feel free to contact me…
