Research

Research on the impact of failed mergers on the returns of bidding and target companies in the UK, the role of herding in determining managerial and investment behaviour, the economic theory of bundling as an instrument of price discrimination both on a mathematical platform as well as on the economic policy related implications of bundling in government procurement and financial regulation. More recently research work has involved modelling the formation and updating of trust perceptions in infrastructure contracts, signaling theory and language formation, while policy related work has focused on public service markets economics, oversight and regulation.
