Ph.D., Professor and Head Department of Finance and Management Science, College of Commerce, University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, Canada
My teaching interests include personal financial planning, corporate finance, the selection and management of investments, and derivative securities. My published research includes papers on export financing, the valuation of real options, and the use of futures and options to hedge interest rate and currency risk. I developed courses and wrote educational material for the Institute of Canadian Bankers (personal financial planning) and for Certified General Accountants Association of Canada (corporate finance). My research in progress includes topics such as the relationship between executive compensation and stakeholders' value, short sales activities, insider trading, interest rate caps, floors, and collars, and the preferable organizational structure for risk management. I enjoy applying financial theory to solve practical problems of interest to businesses, individuals, and groups.
