Detailed Description
A number of posts are available within the Department of Accounting, Economics & Finance. Under the leadership of the Head of Department, Prof. Reza Kouhy, the role-holders will provide teaching support in either Economics or Finance, including large and small group teaching, tutorials and assessment activities.
For candidates interested in the Economics posts, we invite applications from candidates who can address one of the following topic areas in their PhD:
Towards forest sustainability: Farmers' decision-making, land use alternatives and deforestation trade-offs. The agricultural sector is responsible for around 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, thus directly contributing to climate change, but it has also an indirect contribution through deforestation, cattle farming and other activities associated with converting the use of land. Understanding how farmers use their land is essential to propose policies to mitigate deforestation and boost sustainability. Hence, this research project aims to analyse the impact of growing intensification in livestock farming and crop production on deforestation. Research topics include, but are not limited to: (i) studying farmers' decisions regarding their land use and its consequences for deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions; (ii) studying the social acceptability of policies to mitigate deforestation; (iii) exploring how competition affects farmers' decisions. The project is open to multi-country analysis with a special interest in tropical developing countries. The research may use quantitative analysis (advanced econometrics), including the estimation of both reduced-form and structural models.
Unravelling the tapestry of health: A causal historical analysis of public health interventions. The field of health history plays a crucial role in understanding the evolution of public health practices and their impact on society. This project aims to employ data-driven causal inference methods within the realm of economic history to unravel the relationship between public health interventions and health and economic outcomes. Investigating the causal pathways through which interventions influenced economic variables will provide nuanced insights into the broader societal impacts of health policies. Concretely, the project aims are:
a. To apply causal inference methods to analyse the economic impact of major historical public health interventions; b. To assess the long-term economic implications of public health strategies; c. To explore the role of economic factors, such as the role of technology, innovation, and labour markets in shaping public health strategies over time.
Socioeconomic dynamics in developing nations: Examining the interplay of fertility, employment patterns, and household wellbeing. This project aims to investigate the following: 1. The factors influencing fertility dynamics in developing nations, exploring both individual and societal determinants using microeconomic data and employing micro-econometric methods to identify causal relationships; 2. Examine the links with employment and labour market participation in developing countries, identifying key drivers and consequences for economic development. 3. Assess the holistic impact of these socioeconomic dynamics on household well-being, encompassing aspects such as income distribution, living standards, and overall quality of life. The project will employ micro-level data and causal inference methods to identify policy implications for enhancing household welfare in developing nations.
For candidates interested in the Finance posts, we invite applications from candidates who can address one of the following topic areas in their PhD:
Network effects, sentiment analysis and bubble/crisis model of risk contagion between green energy and financial markets. The main aim of this project is to investigate: 1) the role of media in transmitting shocks and the formation of asymmetric information effects, so that we can predict speculative green energy and asset bubbles, market crashes, and evaluate risk contagion between green energy and financial markets; 2) the significance of green energy and financial market connectedness via structural and spatial networks.
By investigating the relationship between the green energy industry and financial markets, the study endeavours to reveal how textual data correlates with endogenous feedback mechanisms in aiding the formation of risk (in the form of green energy and asset bubbles) and influences the returns and transmission of covariance risk. The project will develop an effective early warning signal model (predicting mechanism) in a nonlinear setup to explore network interdependences coupled with risk contagion and transmission, which is representative of both certain and uncertain times that characterise energy and financial markets in general.
Ownership structure, managerial tone and financial market outcomes. This project aims to investigate the following: 1. How corporate governance, particularly ownership structure, affects sustainability narratives;
2. How CEOs' and senior executives' education and background influence the tone of sustainability narratives; 3. What are the economic consequences of the tone of sustainability disclosures. The study aims to examine the relationship between corporate governance structures, such as the impact of board interlocking and overlapping audit committee directors on the tone of sustainability narratives. Ultimately, it seeks to assess the impact of such narratives on firms' performance. Addressing these questions will have both industry and policy-relevant implications, and will help to mitigate the growing skepticism regarding the link between sustainability and firms' performance.
