Mendoza College of Business

Finance Professor Thomas Cosimano’s research topics include pricing financial assets, monetary policy, and computational finance. Cosimano has used mathematical and computer methods to solve models of the stock market, as well as to determine how to invest in financial assets given the empirical behavior of stock and bond returns. His recent research topics include monetary policy given capital constraints on banks, and monetary and fiscal policy in developing countries receiving remittances.

Cosimano co-teaches with Mathematics Professor Alex Himonas an undergraduate interdisciplinary course dealing with the use of mathematical methods in financial economics. He has a doctoral degree in Economics from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
