• Adesiyan Oluwasegunfunmi - The effects of capital structure on profitability index

My research has been mainly in the area of applied econometrics with emphasis on applications concerning financial development, economic growth and fiscal policy in normal and crisis periods. I have extended the literature in considering the impact of too much finance in normal and stress times. Also, I have obtained new insights from threshold approaches using panel data econometric applications in economic and finance issues. My research area also includes Bayesian econometrics approach in forecasting methods for public debt - government size as well as monetary policy (future research agenda). I believe that the Bayesian prediction approach has further applications regarding financing healthcare expenditures-health services and predictions in health science as well. 

Resurgent concerns are faced due to excessive increases in sovereign financing costs after prolonged high government spending may not only limit the fiscal space available to shelter the economy from future shocks. The impact of research in forecasting public debt and government size, provides new insights for the economic performance, increasing the efficiency of public services for vulnerable and low-income households throughout more targeted supporting measures aiming to cushion the most affected in crisis periods.
