The
IFID Centre is formally affiliated with The Schulich School of
Business. Schulich is Canada's largest graduate business school with large
programs in corporate finance, investments, financial services
management and financial engineering. Each year hundreds of
undergraduate and MBA students study personal finance at the
Schulich Business School and York University’s Atkinson Faculty
of Liberal and Professional Studies.
Various faculty
members at York University have already distinguished themselves
in the area of personal finance research. They have received a
wide range of press coverage and have made numerous public and
professional presentations on their research. Some of them are
professionally accredited as Certified Financial Planners, while
others are doing work on psychological models of how individual
consumers make financial decisions, and the implications and
effects of taxation on portfolio allocation.
York researchers
hold executive and editorial positions in the nascent academic
field of personal finance and insurance. Many graduate students
from York University work part time as research assistants for
projects funded by the IFID Centre”. If you are interested in
