The faculty at ITAM Business contribute to a wide range of research areas, including macro-finance, household finance, corporate finance, and asset pricing, as well as empirical IO, marketing, and health economics. Faculty members maintain active collaborations with international scholars. In recent years, we have built a research group including PhDs from Brown, Chicago, Columbia, Georgetown, Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford, among other world-class institutions, and with over 13 different nationalities represented.

The current business faculty has published in journals, such as, the American Economic Review, Review of Economic Studies, Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Journal of Finance, the Journal of Financial Economics, the Review of Financial Studies, the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Management Science, the Review of Finance, among others. We organize a weekly international seminar series that brings faculty from top universities in North America and Europe. Junior faculty routinely get priority for seminar invitations. ITAM Business encourages its faculty to participate in top-tier academic conferences and seminars in the US and Europe to create connections with scholars in their fields.

Our finance faculty are also responsible for organizing the high-profile ITAM Finance Conference (www.itamfin.com) each year. We expect new faculty to become involved with the conference.
