Early interest began with the business cycles and the statistical indicators of the National Bureau of Economie Research, New York, New York, United States of America A shift in direction took place when financial economics and portfolio theory made their debut in the early 1960s. Along with the valuation and assessment of real properties under uncer- tainty, energy was directed towards the valuation of financial assets and the statistical properties of rates of return. Current interest has been in the area of testing the mean-variance valuation model and studying asset pricing and covered interest arbitrage when markets are imperfect.
