Assoc Prof May Oo LwinMay Lwin's research interests are mainly in the areas of consumer marketing communications and social and health communications issues. In particular, her research in the area of privacy and cybersafety looks at how contextual mediators, safeguards and parental guidelines influence user behavior. In the area of health, she examines how digital communication can influence food intake, exercise, and developmental health. In the area of sensory marketing, she has conducted research on scents, auditory factors and culture-specific symbolism in advertising. She has also co-authored a number of marketing books, including the best-selling Clueless Series (includes titles like Clueless in Advertising and Clueless in Marketing Communications) and a leading textbook for Asia, Principles and Effective IMC Practice.

Asst Prof Suman BanerjeeMy research examines the implications of market microstructure for corporate behavior. For both research areas the implications of the evolution of asset prices are important, but the microstructure implications have been largely missing from the existing corporate finance literature. Such an omission is unimportant if corporate finance models work well in the sense of explaining the observed behavior of firms, but this is not the case. The proliferation of anomalies and the changing cast of factors needed to explain even partial firm behaviors like dividend payments, all suggest that success is not yet within our grasp. I found that the existing corporate finance literature ignores the central fact that market microstructure focuses on: prices of assets that they issue to raise investible funds evolve in markets. Markets have two important functions- liquidity and price discovery - and these functions are important for asset pricing, and hence, for the corporations that issue the assets. My research link these to concepts to our more basic constructs of firm behavior, and I will suggest that corporate finance models need to be recast in broader terms to incorporate the transactions costs of liquidity and the risks of price discovery. I found that information is not symmetric nor is equilibrium revealing. The symmetric information-based corporate finance models do not work because they assume that the underlying problems of liquidity and price discovery have been completely solved.
