I have an active interest in public policy and financial reform. I currently conduct research on Long-term finance, public policy and sustainable markets, financial (blockchain) technology and market transformation, and systemic risk. I tend to focus on foundational and transformational research projects. Some of my current research explains the short-comings of the neo-liberal view of financial markets, which today have become loci and engines for the perpetuation of unfettered speculation. It also doubts the utility of complex and suffocating politically-driven regulation as well as the anticapitalist view of markets as re-distributive meachanisms. Concurrently I conduct research on financial stability, bank bail-ins, and optimal ways to tackle bank NPLs both within the eurozone and the wider framework including Asian banking markets.
