Research Spotlight
I am Arnab Biswas, a fifth-year doctoral student in Finance & Accounting Area. My research interest lies in the intersection of Macro and Finance, typically in the questions we encounter in day-to-day life like “how much Central Bank will hike interest rates, government budgets, growth, unemployment, etc. and its spill-over to financial markets and resultant economic fluctuations. In my current research at IIMB, I am exploring the nature of term premium, i.e., excess return commanded by investors and fund managers in the long-term, typically 10-year Indian Government Debt Market
I am Rajeev Agarwal, a doctoral student in the Finance & Accounting area at IIM Bangalore. My research interest is the Indian financial derivatives market. I am currently working on establishing the potential impact which major regulatory changes and the exponential increase in the retail traders have on the Indian derivatives market.
