My research, which is aligned with international, national and Trinity strategic priorities, addresses the critical question of the role played by financial markets and economic agents on the creation of information asymmetry that effects positive and negative outcomes to the society. In particular, my recent research that draws together the disciplines of accounting, finance and law and aims to provide an explanation as to why in certain instances unsuccessful companies survive for prolong periods, defying the doctrine of economic natural selection. The paper appeared in the Business History Review, a very well regarded, Harvard edited ABS 4 ranked journal. I was a senior author in this paper. I also published a string of ABS 3 papers on the impact of the global financial Crisis on market efficiency. These papers help to gain an understanding on the price discovery process during volatile periods, highlighting arbitrage oppertunities while outlining policy implications. Especially my work on European single markets and market integration has become very relevant with the advent of Brexit. I have published 18 ABS, 3-star publications, 1 ABS 4 to date, including a sole authored paper. My work has received over 260 citations in respected journals and currently score a value of 11 and 12 in the h-index and the i-10 index respectively . I was recently appointed as an honorary associate in Finance at the Judge Business School, university of Cambridge as an acknowledgement of my contributions to the field. Going forward, extending my ABS 4 paper on the perverse influence of dominant firms, my follow-up work feeds to the recent studies from Harvard University on the 'Age of Surveillance Capitalism'. Another promising area is to apply a model that is based on an academically rigours methodology to measure wealth perception which I (along with my co-authors) developed recently. I am also looking at building on the ABS 3 publications I hold in the clean energy/ESG space, and am looking at developing new financial instruments to enable equitable risk shearing to enable flow of capital to the clean energy sector.

  Go Green or Stay Black: Bond Market Dynamics in Asia
  Summary

  This project presents a picture of the risk spillover relationship of green & black bonds in Asia. In normal situations and the long-term horizon, green bonds and black bonds have similar impacts with each other, with a slight predominance of black bonds. From the dynamic connectedness results, the sample period is classified into three stages. The first stage is a period with equal role of green and black bonds from Jan 2018 to Feb 2020, which is regarded as a normal situation of the bond market. The second stage is the unbalanced period with a turning point of the Covid-19, with the increased gap of the connectedness exported by green and black bonds. The third stage is the recovery period after Oct 2020, with the role of green and black bonds recovered slowly to the equal status. In addition, the green-to-black connectedness in longer term witnesses faster and stronger recovery, which suggests that the long-term influences of green bonds are relatively stable than the short-term influences. Moreover, the paper tests the effects of the same issuer. Our analysis shows that there are strong connections among bonds in the Philippines that are issued by the same institution. However, the same issuer is not a sufficient condition for a strong connectedness. Furthermore, our analysis in China, reveals that the green policy will firstly cause the change of green bonds price and then spillover the impact to conventional markets. Through the study of the drivers of connectedness dynamics in four directions (green-to-green, black-to-black, green-to-black, black-to-green), we present empirical findings that are crucial for investors and policymakers in risk management, hedging strategy, and green investment acceleration.
