FBA Research Star / PhD admission
"FBA promotes a researcher-friendly atmosphere in which
research-track faculty are not required to undertake heavy
teaching workloads. Such an arrangement enables me to
devote time to research. Meanwhile, flexible working conditions
here helps enhance research productivity. Besides, adequate
internal funding, resourceful database subscriptions, and
efficient administrative support also play a constructive role.
Overall, I feel grateful for joining the big family of FBA, which
serves as another start of my academic career.ā€¯
-- Dr. Tao Chen
Dr. Tao CHEN
FBA Research Star of June 2020
Dr. Tao CHEN (Toro) has published 4 ABS3 and 4 ABS2 ranked journal papers
since January 2020. Dr. Chen has been selected as the FBA Research Star of June
2020.
Dr. Chen joined FBA as an Assistant Professor in Business Economics in 2018. He
received his PhD degree from City University of Hong Kong. His research interests
cover three main areas. One of them is behavior finance, where he investigates how
cognitive heuristics affect tradersā€™ decision making, such as herding, attention,
sentiment, and superstition. Asset pricing is another area in his research interests in
which he explores the anomalies in financial markets, including round-number bias,
trade-size clustering, and post-announcement disagreement. Recently he
concentrates on the emerging literature surrounding FinTech by probing whether
algorithmic trading plays a role in information dissemination and price efficiency as
another area in his research interests. His latest research papers have been
published in numerous academic journals, such as Journal of Business Research,
Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting, and International Journal of
Finance and Economics.
PhD Admission
With the Faculty's effort in reputation building and internationalization, PhD
applicants from the top-100 universities in Mainland China and top-300 universities
in the world have increased from 62% in 2019 to 69% in 2020 respectively. We will
continue to promote and attract more high-quality students with strong research
background to FBA.
