Profile
Our research and teaching activities cover several areas in Banking and
Finance with particular emphasis on Green Finance and Fintech. Part of our
research focuses on the strategic implications of sustainability challenges for
financial systems. We propose solutions to respond to financial risks posed by
social and sustainability issues, including Environmental, Social, and
Governance (ESG) investing.
In the area Fintech, we apply machine learning techniques to cope with a broad range of topics in finance such as bankruptcy prediction, credit risk assessment, or taxpayer perception and identify the impact of digitalization of financial processes on banks' profitability or client migration.
The ongoing research projects focus on the following topics:
Green Finance: risk premia in corporate green bonds,
ESGs in the context of mergers and acquisitions, integration of renewable
energies with implications on pricing, coupling of electricity markets
FinTech and Artificial Intelligence in Finance: machine learning techniques for improved bankruptcy prediction and
credit risk assessment
Banking: price discrimination in mortgage
lending, portfolio stress
testing, random field modelling of the term structure of interest rates
Financial Regulation: internal credit risk models and their impact on banks' risk weighted assets, stress tests in regulation
