Research Interests:

Raslan’s research interests lie in the field of household finance. His work focuses on linking households’ financial behaviour to the macroeconomic environment and on exploring the drivers of household financial decisions at the micro level. 

Raslan's current research explores the relationship between trust in the financial system and households' financial decision making.  More broadly he is interested in factors that influence household financial portfolio allocations.  

In addition, Raslan's work on households’ financial behaviour has developed to consider the implications of housing affordability and whether it should be extended beyond objective economic criteria and include households’ subjective dimensions.

Research Interests

Aidas is an experimental economist who uses laboratory, online and field experiments, as well as game theory, to understand human behaviour.

Aidas is interested in understanding how boundedly rational decisions depend on the framing, information or feedback in the game. To address these questions, Aidas compares the predictions of agent-based models to experimental data in games where convergence is slow or there are multiple equilibria to which choices could converge. Results from this research shed some light on whether behaviour is driven by beliefs, preferences or bounded rationality, and how the policymakers could use information design to shift behaviour in a desirable manner.

Aidas is also interested in using experimental methods to address problems such as climate change, income inequality and collusion in oligopolies. Some aspects of each problem can be modelled by appropriately designed games and the consequences of potential policy interventions can be investigated using both behavioural game theory and laboratory experiments. Specifically, his recent research explores whether exposure to income inequality has a negative effect on productivity, whether the outcomes of climate change negotiations depend on historical responsibility and whether collusion is more likely in more concentrated markets.

Research interests

Jolian´s research interests lie primarily in the area of theoretical economics. He is currently working on oligopoly theory especially with applications in networks, corruption, regulation, uncertainty and welfare.

My research focuses on two areas: Economic forecasting and Monetary Economics. In the area of economic forecasting, I evaluate the forecast performance of forecasters using survey data. Alternatively, in the area of monetary economic, I analyze monetary policy preferences and the policy decision of central banks. I would be interested in supervising PhD students in these areas.

Panos’ research interests lie in the broad field of labour economics.

His work focuses on labour markets characterised by trading frictions. Using both applied theory and applied econometrics, often combined into structural modelling, Panos has examined a range of specific research questions, including the determinants of native-migrant wage differentials, the impact of the minimum wage on labour market outcomes, and the patterns of worker reallocation across firms and local labour markets.

Panos is interested in supervising PhD students in labour economics and applied econometrics.

Chiara ‘s research is in Applied Microeconometrics and lies at the intersection of Labor Economics, Health Economics, and Public Economics. Chiara studies the behaviour of individuals, firms, and governments, and her research tries to understand intended and unintended effects of public policies, effects of innovation, issues relevant for the design of markets, inequality, consumer response to information, and the transmission of human capital.

Chiara is interested in supervising dissertations in Applied Microeconometrics, especially on topics related to the production of health and impact of healthcare policies.

Indeewara’s research interests include model fitting, estimation, inference and forecasting in non-linear time series models, with special emphasis on statistical analysis of financial data. The concepts and tools used for weak convergence of stochastic processes in metric spaces, bootstrap methods, and goodness-of-fit tests play important roles in most of his research.

He has produced several papers in leading journals in the areas of econometric theory, mathematical statistics, and time series analysis. Four of his papers have been published in journals ranked A* by the 2013 Australian Business Deans Council (ABDC) Journal Quality List.

Indeewara is interested in supervising PhD students working in Econometrics (Theoretical or Applied) and Statistics. Specifically, he is interested in the following areas:

• Developing new methods for model fitting, estimation, inference and forecasting in non-linear Econometric/Time-Series models, including ARCH/GARCH type models, Multiplicative Error models, and Panel Data models.

• Bootstrap and resampling methods in Econometrics and Statistics; in particular, he is interested on nonstandard and massive data set ups.

Gurleen´s primary research interest is in Applied Econometrics. Her research has focused on the effects of economic growth and labour market institutions on the wage structure, distribution of income, and poverty in both the formal and the informal sectors of the economy. An example of a recent project is the effects of free trade on labour market outcomes for women in developing countries. Her current research focuses on the impact of poverty and inequality on early childhood development. Gurleen is interested in supervising students in applied micro- and macro-econometrics.

Matthew's research is in public economics and behavioural economics. He focuses on four inter-related areas: understanding the determinants of tax compliance, the link between economic quantities and subjective happiness, explaining decision-making under risk with models of behavioural economics, and designing voting systems for international institutions. Currently he is exploring the role of social networks on compliance behaviour, the role of relative income in the utility function, and the reform of the UN Security Council.

Matthew supervises PhD students interested in microeconomic theory and behavioural economics.

Research interests

Jenny's research interests centre on applied microeconometrics, particularly the interaction of health and labour market outcomes, health-related behaviours, health valuation, the economics of well-being and travel behaviours. She is currently leading a large, innovative, EPSRC-funded project, ': Experienced utility and travel behaviour, a feasibility study', which uses smartphones to gather real-time data on commuting experiences, and to feed this back to them in various ways. The ultimate aim is to influence travel behaviour by encouraging people to reflect on their experience and those of other people.

Jenny is interested in supervising PhD students in applied microeconometrics, especially those with topics that are in line with the research interests described here.
