Corporate Finance & Financial Markets
The research cluster in corporate finance and the financial market merges researchers from the fields of corporate finance, financial accounting, and financial markets. The aim of this cluster is to produce high-quality research in the fields of financial accounting, corporate finance, and financial market efficiency. This cluster is designed to take a deep investigation on the nonfinancial policy of the corporates e.g., dividend policy, issuance of shares, and retained earnings management in a dynamic setting of taxation. Another field of corporate finance is to assess the financial strength of the firm by considering the financial ratios, which is one of the most relevant research areas for developing markets. The cluster is also engaged to assess the impact of IFRS adaptation on the firm’s reputation which may ultimately impact the firm’s market value. The cluster’s research output is believed to have significant importance for policymakers.
