Christopher Bilson

My research agenda is primarily in the areas of International Finance (spanning asset pricing models, parity conditions, capital market integration and emerging stock markets), Investments (including funds management, trading strategies and computational finance (such as momentum and sentiment analysis); and political risk management) and Corporate Finance (both domestic and cross-border mergers and acquisitions). My other research interests are in the financial education space, particularly in relation to indigenous financial literacy.

I have capacity to supervise at the Honours, Masters of Philosophy and PhD levels, across any of the topics identified in my research interests. That is, in the areas of International Finance (eg. asset pricing models, parity conditions, capital market integration and emerging stock markets), Investments (including funds management, trading strategies and computational finance (such as momentum and sentiment analysis); and political risk management) and Corporate finance (both domestic and cross-border MNAs). I also have capacity to supervise in the financial literacy space. My present doctoral supervisions are in the areas of momentum and sentiment (with Bruce Vanstone) and risk management (with Bruce Vanstone, Steve Stern and Adrian Gepp). I am presently seeking expressions of interest at the honours level in relation to conducting research both on the time-variation of equity market integration and on a number or projects relating to the long run performance of mergers and acquisitions in the Australian market (including Japanese parents and currency risk premiums).
