Research


The Graduate Institute of Finance offers four specializations - financial engineering, corporate finance, investment, behavioral finance, and quantitative analysis - which broadly reflect the research interests of our faculty. In the past, the  GIF has also built a reputation in the field of commercial gaming studies through the research center “Lottery and Commercial Gaming” (until 2021) that had been directed by Professor  emeritus Dai-yang Liu. In 2021, the "FinTech Digital Sandbox P.O.C. Base" was jointly established by FinTech Innovation Park and Taiwan Tech to cultivate talents in innovative experiment-based financial technology. The new facility will help the integration of empirical research results with the needs of the industry, and serve as a regional center of innovative experiment-based financial technology.

Currently, the GIF is running the following research laboratories:

Asset securitization, developed in the U.S. in the 1970's, refers to the process of raising capital by designing and issuing new types of securities for sale to the general public. 
The main purpose of this laboratory is to conduct in-depth research on securitization and pricing of real estate and other to cultivate talents in asset securitization and to let Taiwan keep abreast with worldwide developments in this field.

  Financial Engineering (IB 1008)
