Economics and Finance department
The Economics and Finance department is home to world-class academics with close ties to international universities, research institutes and the world of practice.
Our economics research ranges from mathematical decision theory to economic history but has a focus on applied research that is informed by data. Academics are engaged with many aspects of public policy and have strong links to the New Zealand Policy Research Institute.
Our finance academics have strengths in corporate finance and governance, financial markets and institutions, fund management, investments, market microstructure and international finance. Researchers also work within the Auckland Centre for Financial Research, which bridges the gap between academic and the finance industry.
Undergraduate study in economics and finance will give you a solid grounding in this area.
