    Vision Statement

    Daniel's current research focus lies in two topical areas in the financial economics area: 1) increasing our understanding on how a financial crisis spreads across countries and different asset classes to address a broader debate on whether market turbulence is caused by changes in investor confidence in the financial system as opposed to market failure; 2) the dynamics behind the relationship between global credit market spreads and the term structure of interest rates - a topical area that could have major implications for the implementation of central bank policy in the form of quantitative easing. Daniel's current focus also extends on the impact of global macroeconomic shocks from major source markets on the tourism economy of major destination countries.
