Word of the Chief

Welcome to the International Finance Group Tunisia website, the first Tunisian research group focusing on new empirical work in understanding the price, risk and investment behavior of financial and commodity assets. The International Finance group Tunisia has been founded since 2005, september (Code 05/UR/06-01) by Professors Chaker Aloui and Adel Boubaker from the Faculty of Management and Economic Sciences of Tunis (El Manar University).

The International Finance Group is being launched at a time of unprecedented concern about global financial issues and policy, together with the rapid emergence of increasingly sophisticated quantitative modeling techniques for the foreign exchange, equity and commodity markets. Price and volume drivers are complex in these markets, and the need to understand not only the expected price formation process but also the volatility clustering and emergence of spikes is stimulating substantial research of considerable methodological novelty and practical impact.

The International Finance Group intends to publish original academic studies (masters and doctorate dissertations) and academic papers. Our main idea is to provide a forum for international discussion between academics and practitioners about these topics:

1. Foreign Exchange markets
2. Financial Markets behavior
3. Commodity markets behavior
4. Derivative products
5. Theory and applications of real options
6. Risk valuation and hedging strategies
7. Forecasting financial and commodity markets
8. International diversification and behavioral finance
