Our current projects

The Centre for Financial Econometrics has four broad research themes:

applied financial econometrics
econometric theory with respect to time series and panel data, asset pricing (forecasting and price discovery analysis)
capital structure decision making with improved models
energy markets research.

Can economic policy uncertainty predict stock returns

This project examines the role that economic policy uncertainty (EPU) plays in predicting stock excess returns. There is a growing literature that investigates the link between EPU and financial markets with the main evidence suggesting that EPU has a negative effect on stock returns. The primary focus of this project is to test if EPU predicts international stock returns.

Technology factor and stock returns: a long-term perspective

This study uses historical data on firm technological innovation from the 1870s to the current day, as measured through patents, productivity and profits, to examine how technological innovations drive economic growth and thus how measures of technological innovation can be used to predict stock market returns.

Higher moments and exchange rate behaviour

In this project, we examine the role of high-order moments in influencing exchange rate behaviour. There are several economic channels and mechanisms through which higher moments can impact exchange rate behaviour and the precise implications of these higher moments on exchange rates have not been studied. The goal of this project is to fill this research gap and explore the economic importance of the inclusion of these higher moments on the profitability of exchange rate trading.

Ability of oil returns to predict stock returns in the G7 area – panel evidence

It is well known that oil returns are an important predictor of economic growth. But if a firm's earnings are affected, the its returns are likely to be affected too. Many studies note that the results depend heavily not only on the data set employed, but also on the method used in the analysis. This project proposed a new proper panel data approach that circumvents the problems of the country-by-country approach, leading to more reliable evidence on the predictive ability of oil returns in a panel of G7 countries.
