    Biography

    Dr. Thomas Flavin is an Associate Professor in Finance. Thomas joined the Department of Economics, Finance and Accounting in 1998 after completing his D.Phil on 'Tactical Asset Allocation' at University of York, under the supervision of Michael Wickens. He subsequently joined the Maynooth University School of Business in August 2020.  

    His research fits within the broad area of empirical finance, with a special focus on financial market linkages and shock transmission; financial contagion; asset allocation; and corporate finance. He has published in leading peer-reviewed academic journals such as Journal of Banking and Finance, Journal of International Money and Finance, Economics Letters, Emerging Markets Review, Journal of Forecasting, and Journal of International Financial Markets, Institutions and Money among others. He has also contributed a number of chapters on edited volume. He has held visiting positions at University of York, University of Cambridge and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.

    He has taught a broad range of Finance modules at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, supervised several MSc theses, and acted as lead supervisor for four successful PhD students.  

    Research Interests

    My research interests span a range of empirical finance issues. My current research focuses on the following issues:

    Financial Contagion and Shock Transmission
    I am particularly interested in the detection and measurement of financial contagion. Tests of the stability of the shock transmission mechanism across market conditions is an important issue in many issues in financial economics and a clear understanding is crucial for the development of appropriate policy responses.

    Portfolio and Investment Management
    I am also interested in measuring financial market co-movements and how diversification strategies perform during downturns and crises.

    Macroeconomic influences on financial markets
    The interaction of macroeconomic factors and financial market variables is another focus of my research. To what extent do macroeconomic influences drive financial market returns and co-movements?

    Corporate Payout Strategies
    I am interested in how corporations - particularly emerging market firms - use payouts (dividends, debt repayments and share repurchases) to signal good governance and build trust with external stakeholders.
