Oren Sussman

Reader in Finance at Saïd Business School, Oren's areas of expertise include macroeconomics, international finance and financial distress.

His research focuses on financial crisis, financial constraints and the business cycle, economic analysis of insolvency law, cross-border insolvency, sovereign debt and exchange-rate volatility. Much of this work combines insights from macroeconomics, law, finance and economics.

Oren publishes widely in leading journals in the field, often co-authored with other prominent academics. He also has an interest in economic policy and in 2002 he was commissioned by the British Government to conduct a survey (together with Julian Franks) of the resolution of financial distress within the framework of English insolvency law. The study pointed out the merits of the English approach to insolvency, a view that gained more support following the Franks-Sussman research.
