About the research group
The Finance and Financial Accounting research group (FRG) focuses on finance and external accounting. The group's areas of expertise cover the field from finance markets to financial statement analysis. Researchers of finance and financial accounting at the University of Vaasa are pioneers in their field of research in Finland. During the past decades they have published hundreds of scientific articles in journals that follow international assessment procedures. The research tradition is also strongly reflected in our current operations and areas of emphasis. Recent projects have focused on the examination of the way financial markets operate and connections with corporate financing and investor decision-making. Our research group is internationally oriented. We have several collaborators in Finnish and international universities and financial institutions. Our research is internationally awarded.
The research group focuses particularly on the following themes:
- Emerging financial markets
- Derivatives markets
- Macroeconomic factors and financial markets
- Monetary policy and financial markets
- Banking and bank performance
- Corporate finance
- Female executives and corporate governance
