Affiliated Research Centers

[Print-friendly version]

The NCER has cooperative research links with other research centres, both in Australia and abroad.

The Bendheim Center for Finance was established in 1998 to encourage interdisciplinary research in finance, primarily from a quantitative or mathematical perspective. The research activities of the center are directed toward the study of financial markets and asset prices, the financial structure of firms, commercial banks and other financial intermediaries, and the linkages between financial economics and other fields, such as engineering, operations research, mathematics, computer science, psychology and public policy.

The Centre for Applied Macroeconomic Analysis in the ANU College of Business and Economics has been established to build strong links between professional macroeconomists. It provides a forum for quality research and discussion of policy issues between academia, government and the private sector.

FIRN (Financial Integrity Research Network) is an ARC Research Network, mainly funded by the Australian Research Council but also through contributions from its member universities.

FIRN's mission is to enhance the integrity and efficiency of Australia's financial system and to establish Australia as the Asia-Pacific hub of financial markets research excellence.

One of FIRN's strategies to achieve these goals is to bring people from various disciplines together in educational events which will lead to further collaboration and research in the broad field of financial integrity.
