PhD research

The breadth and depth of the School's research interests is reflected in the range of doctoral work completed over the years. Current PhD projects include: Measuring Cross-Sectional Dependence in Large Datasets, Market Microstructure and Price Discovery; Wage Determination in Italy; Long Memory in Time Series; Forecasting Macro Variables with Large Datasets; Tests of the Permanent Income Hypothesis; Measurement of the Effect of Fiscal Policy; Forecasting and Term Structure of Interest Rates; Modelling Financial Crisis; Categorization and Decision-Making.

PhD research is closely linked to the three main research groupings of the School; these are:-
