Behavioural Finance Theme
Representing a novel research domain and led by Dr Cormac O Keeffe, the focus under this theme is on examining the influence of psychology on the behaviour of individuals, firms, and financial markets. Professor William Forbes of Queen Mary University of London, a distinguished academic on this topic is a Visiting Professor to the Centre and research collaborator of the theme's leader, Dr Cormac O Keeffe. The School of Business is also the very first to offer Behavioural Finance as a module for undergraduate students.
Current research projects under this theme include:
Title: "Pricing of New Offers in IPO Clusters",
PhD candidate: Oksana Doherty,
Supervisors: Dr Cormac O Keeffe and Professor William Forbes.
Title: "An Investigation into Analysts' Conflicts of Interest Pre and Post the Financial Crisis: the impact of European Union's Market Abuse Directive 2003/EC 6 (MAD)",
PhD candidate, Nora Gordon,
Supervisors: Dr Cormac O Keeffe and Dr Sheila O Donohoe
Title: "Investing in the low carbon agenda: perspectives from Germany, Ireland and the UK",
PhD candidate: Norah Storey,
Supervisors: Dr Sheila O Donohoe and Dr Tom Egan.
Completed research projects under this theme include:
Title: "Momentum in the UK Stock Market: Cause and Effect and the Role of Brokers and Analysts",
PhD graduate, Dr Aine Murphy,
Supervisors: Dr Cormac O Keeffe and Professor William Forbes
This study sought to determine if momentum was present in the UK stock market between the years 1995 and 2013. Momentum refers to the tendency for stocks that have previously performed well to continue to do so. Employing the model developed in the seminal paper of momentum by Jegadeesh and Titman (1993) the level of momentum in the UK stock market will be determined, additionally the key causes of the phenomenon will be discussed, specifically what role brokers and analysts play in exacerbating momentum in the market. Furthermore, by examining the recommendations and forecasts of analysts, two things will be evaluated; 1) analyst behaviour during times of financial crisis and 2) the over-inference of analysts' recommendations in the context of the law of small numbers theory.
Small Firm Finance Theme
Led by Dr Sheila O Donohoe the focus of this theme is on the key facets inherent to small firm finance in order to extend the portfolio of knowledge and assist in establishing tripartite between small firms, academia and policy makers
Title: Financing European SMEs: the case of Family Firms
PhD Candidate: Denis Walsh,
Supervisor: Dr Sheila O Donohoe
Title: SME Internationalisation and its Financing: Case of Ireland and Scotland
PhD Candidate: Lisa Spencer,
Title: The Landscape of Bank Credit Availability and Firm Leverage for European SMEA: An Evaluation of Country Characteristics
PhD Candidate: Dr Andrea Mc Namara
This research has been presented in a number of national and international conferences including the 2013 Doctoral Consortium of the American Accounting Association with the first output published in the Journal of Corporate Finance in April 2017.
Title: An Investigation of Inefficiencies in Enterprise Supports: A Study of the Irish Enterprise Support System
PhD Candidate: Dr Dave Pasley
This thesis evaluated aspects of the effectiveness of financial support issued by agencies Enterprise Ireland (EI) and The City and County Enterprise Boards (CEBs) adopting a holistic view and devised a novel framework to explain the potential relationships between the different concepts, for their simultaneous measurement. The findings suggest that deadweight is present in the Irish enterprise support system, but is less prolific than outlined by previous research. Furthermore, deadweight is shown to be perpetuated by selection biases on the part of support agencies and the enterprise's potential to substitute private finance with public funds. Yet evidence of additionality has the potential to mitigate for some of these inefficiencies.
Governance and Corporate Responsibility Theme
This theme led by Dr Collette Kirwan, encompasses key aspects of governance, accountability and corporate responsibility including regulation, financial reporting, value creation and risk management.
Title: Why Serve? Motivations of Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) on Boards of Not-for Profit Organisations
PhD Candidate: Katie Scallon
Supervisors: Dr Collette Kirwan, Dr Richard Burke and Dr Ray Griffin
Title: Governance and Accountability in Community, Voluntary and Charity (CVC) Organisations
PhD Candidate: Emma Maguire
Supervisors: Dr Ray Griffin and Dr Collette Kirwan
Title: An Alternative Banking Inquiry: A Grand Narrative of Organisation Culture and Change from 1960 to 2000
PhD Graduate: Dr Aisling Tuite
Supervisors: Dr Ray Griffin and Dr Sean Byrne
Personal Finance Theme
As a relatively new research area with significant connotations both for individuals and society, led by Dr Richard Burke, this theme aims to enhance knowledge of personal finance where financial literacy, regulation, consumer rights, pensions and mortgage provision are proving most relevant in this domain.
Title: Socio Economic Challenges, pension policy and the integration of residential property with private pensions in Ireland
PhD Candidate: Yogesh Jaiyawala,
Supervisors: Mr John Maher, Dr Sean Byrne and Dr Richard Burke
