Research interests

I am interested in empirical asset pricing in emerging and frontier markets, especially within the African continent. My current research is around the effect of liquidity in the Emerging and Frontier African markets, the effect of beta instability on cross-sectional variation in average returns in the African market, the impact of survivorship bias on the modelling of stock market returns in the African market and the importance of higher moments of returns distribution in the African market.
