World-renowned privatisation expert Professor Bill Megginson will speak about his latest research when he visits the University this week.

The New York Stock Exchange consultant and University of Oklahoma academic has been invited by the School of Economics and Finance to present two papers on the Albany and Manawatu campuses.

Professor Megginson will present Employment Protection Laws and Privatisation at the Albany campus on Thursday and An Empirical Analysis of Cross-Listing Decisions in Share-Issue Privatizations: Evidence from Developed and Developing Countries at the Manawatu campus on Friday.

He was a major drawcard at the FMA Asian finance conference hosted by the University in Queenstown in April this year.
