Ivan Lim

Welcome to my website! I am an Assistant Professor in Finance at the Business School at Durham University. Prior to joining Durham University in 2020, I was a Lecturer in Banking and Finance at the University of Leeds. I received my PhD in Finance from the University of Edinburgh in 2018.

Using a quantitative data-driven empirical approach, I research topics in financial intermediation (regulations, bank fragility and business policies, and mortgage and small business lending) and corporate finance (firm ESG policies).

My research has been published in leading international finance journals such as the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, the Review of Corporate Finance Studies, and the Journal of Corporate Finance. It has also been presented at conferences and policy meetings organized by central banks and regulatory bodies including the Federal Reserve (the Fed), the European Banking Authority (EBA), the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS), and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB).

I have taught on a wide range of topics in Banking, Corporate Finance, Investments and Quantitative Research Methods at both the under- and post-graduate level.

Please feel free to get in touch!
