Deans’ report and outlook We are pleased to present the Annual Report 2013, Outlook 2014, which serves to record and celebrate the achievements of the Faculty of Business and Economics, our people and our programs. It gives an overview of the year past and articulates our aspirations into the future as we strive to become a leading centre in business and economics and to grow in the esteem of our community worldwide. Below are but a few of the achievements of 2013 and you will find many more throughout the report. We hope you will read it with interest.
HISTORIC COLLABORATION AGREEMENT
NEW SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT LAUNCHED
This year was one of considerable achievements and also considerable change. The biggest and most exciting instance of this is that on 1 May 2013, the Faculty of Business and Economics and Melbourne Business School Ltd began an historic collaboration. Under the agreement, Melbourne Business School became the University of Melbourne’s home for graduate studies in business and economics.
In June the Faculty of Business and Economics, the Faculty of Arts and the Law School at the University launched the Melbourne School of Government (MSoG). The School aims to develop innovative responses to contemporary public policy and governance questions, foster a culture of public debate and help train the Asia–Pacific’s next generation of political leaders.
For current and future students, Melbourne Business School provides a comprehensive, integrated suite of more than 30 management and specialist graduate programs in business and economics under the globally renowned MBS brand. Longer term, the collaboration will enable development of innovative new programs in response to the changing needs of business, governments and society. The collaboration builds on the heritage of both institutions. In 1963, MBS became the first institution in Australia to offer an MBA. It is now one of two Australian schools ranked in the Financial Times’ top 100 MBA programs, and is a globally recognised provider of executive education. Under the collaboration, MBS retains a unique ownership model that has enabled it to stay agile and responsive to the needs of business: 55 per cent ownership by the business community.
RIADY CHAIR IN ASIAN BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS APPOINTED In March the Faculty made a clear statement about its strategic intentions in the Asian region by appointing a renowned Asian business expert – Professor Jane Lu – to the inaugural James Riady Chair in Asian Business and Economics.
AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR WORKPLACE LEADERSHIP June also saw the genesis of the Centre for Workplace Leadership, which aims to produce knowledge that works in ‘real-world’ situations based on issues and challenges that face all Australian workplaces and leaders. The Centre will collaborate with other universities, industry peak associations and the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU) to deliver workplace management training, with a focus on managers in small and medium-sized businesses.

CELEBRATION In October we held the event Celebrating Copland. The opportunity acknowledged the remarkable contributions of our founding Dean Douglas Copland to commerce education and public policy. In his honour, the main lecture theatre at 198 Berkeley St has been renamed the Copland Lecture Theatre. The event also launched his biography, written by Marjorie Harper, and Sir Douglas Copland Chair of Commerce, Professor Margaret Abernethy, spoke about his legacy.
In mid-2013, the University of Melbourne embarked on a Business Improvement Program (BIP), which will be fully implemented in the second half of 2014. The BIP objectives are to enable academic performance, improve student experience, enable professional excellence, and increase efficiency − making university processes and systems as simple and as effective as possible for all. As the year progresses the detail of the program and ramifications for the Faculty will become clearer and we should have new structures and processes in place by the end of the year. The University of Melbourne has awarded the Faculty and Melbourne Business School $500 000 for the next five years to support our Collaboration Agreement. We have decided to allocate a portion of these funds to the establishment of joint research groups or centres. This support will enable us to build our intellectual capital and align our research interests. The Faculty has made significant progress in the implementation of its Asia Strategy. A number of partnership agreements have been developed, with several more being discussed. There have been numerous activities focused on the region including public lectures, alumni events and industry-based activities. In 2014, the Faculty will continue to focus on giving our students first-hand experience of the diverse business environments in Asia as well as developing a multifaceted engagement strategy with leading Asian academic institutions and corporations, to confirm our intentions to effectively engage in the study of Asian business and economics. The Melbourne Institute will be hosting the 2014 Economic and Social Outlook Conference on ‘Pathways to Growth – The reform imperative’. Issues explored will include budget sustainability, education, infrastructure, trade with Asia, aged care, federalism, the labour market and employment, climate change and energy, social disadvantage and exclusion and the end of the age of entitlement. The Outlook Conference attracts Australia’s leading public policy and corporate speakers and is hosted and covered in collaboration with The Australian newspaper. The Faculty hosted the fourth annual Melbourne Foundation for Business and Economics Dinner in the Great Hall, National Gallery of Victoria, with Mr Sam Walsh AO (BCom 1972), Chief Executive of Rio Tinto, as the keynote speaker. Last year 580 senior business leaders, 405 of whom were identified as alumni, attended the dinner, raising funds for the Melbourne Foundation for Business and Economics. We sincerely thank our Foundation donors who through their generosity enable us to build our research projects, offer more scholarships and provide bursaries that give students opportunities for a global experience.

Programs MBS reviewed all of its academic programs during 2013 to make them Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) compliant. This led to the restructure of programs, including changes to the entry requirements and duration and the introduction of capstone subjects. Capstone subjects prepare students for professional life by providing ‘real-life’ experiences requiring them to use disciplinary knowledge and generic skills.
Open Programs • Doing Business in Asia
MBS successfully took on the administration and delivery of the Master of Enterprise and Master of Supply Chain Management. These courses also received CRICOS accreditation, which allows them to be offered to international students. In 2013, MBS also successfully offered, for the first time, the intensive short course ‘Doing Business in the Asia Pacific’ to a group of American and South American students.
• Market Leadership and Strategic Marketing • Strategic Financial Analysis • Executive Decision Making and Negotiation • Internet Marketing and Social Media • Positive Leadership Development • Managing Customers for Competitive Advantage • Strategic Brand Leadership
OUTLOOK 2014 • Expanded program offerings with other faculties in innovation, marketing communication, global affairs, engineering management and health management. • Continued focus on delivery of high-quality service, continuous process improvement and enhanced customer service. • Delivery of a redesigned Orientation Week program of workshops and activities that will assist students’ transition into graduate study. • Expanded opportunities for students to undertake experiential learning through activities such as business practicums and internships. • Delivery of a series of programs throughout the student life cycle aimed at enhancing graduate employability and maximising personal effectiveness. • A review of student communications from point of offer to graduation, ensuring effectiveness and identifying opportunities for innovation and improvement.
The Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) supports the design, delivery and evaluation of an exceptional curriculum of diversity and innovation. Our staff work with teachers to provide world-class learning experiences for our students. CELT is responsible for the coordination of the Assurance of Learning processes within the Faculty and models best practice in this field across the University. CELT runs the Tutoring in Higher Education program where new tutors are provided with intensive, ongoing support.

In 2013, CELT underwent a major change exercise. The focus shifted from student support to academic development support for Faculty staff. New learning and teaching directions and priorities were set, aligning to national and international best practice in supporting excellent curriculum development, design and evaluation. New priorities included the development and implementation of an e-learning and flexible delivery strategy. In order to achieve these learning and teaching priorities a new structure was necessary. The change exercise involved seven positions being made redundant and four new positions, including learning and teaching specialists and educational/instructional designers, being created.
Specialist Certificates • Specialist Certificate in Executive Leadership • Specialist Certificate in Strategic Marketing
Enrolments New MBS student enrolments increased 9% between 2012 and 2013 and this is on top of a significant period of growth between 2010 and 2012. The total number of students enrolled in 2013 exceeded 2000 for the first time.
CENTRE FOR EXCELLENCE IN LEARNING AND TEACHING (CELT)
REPORT 2013 2013 built on and extended our client base for Custom Programs. Clients for Executive Education included the banking sector, car industry, professional services, accounting industry, higher education and State Government. The option to undertake Open Programs for assessment, either as a standalone subject or as part of a Specialist Certificate in Executive Leadership or Specialist Certificate in Strategic Marketing, proved even more successful this year, with 53% of our Open Program attendees undertaking assessment. Scholarships The FBE’s partnership with the Australian Scholarship Foundation offers two scholarships into each Open Program and one into each Specialist Certificate to individuals from the not-for-profit sector. This offers high-performing individuals from the not-for-profit sector the same opportunities as their counterparts from the corporate and government sectors. OUTLOOK 2014 Our goal in 2014 is to continue to help experienced professionals develop their leadership abilities and reach new levels in their careers. With more participants than ever before undertaking Open Programs on an assessed basis as part of a Specialist Certificate, and with Master of Enterprise and Master of Supply Chain Management students able to complete Open Programs as electives, we expect enrolments to increase significantly.
OUTLOOK 2014 CELT will undertake to recruit a new Director and to build a learning and teaching team to support the Faculty to achieve its learning and teaching goals in the new structure.

FACULTY OF BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS
Academic expertise ACCOUNTING
The Department of Accounting is committed to intellectual leadership in accounting education and research in Australia and the Asia–Pacific region. As one of the largest and oldest accounting departments in Australia, it attracts staff and students of a very high calibre.
The Department’s academic staff have a blend of experience in industry and academia which enhances teaching through the provision of both theoretical and practical knowledge. Global and cultural perspectives, including knowledge of international accounting standards and practices, form an inherent part of student learning. The Centre for Accounting and Industry Partnerships, located within the Department of Accounting, enables links vital to teaching and research with the profession and industry. REPORT 2013 The year started with a period of transition for the Department’s leadership team, with Professor John Lyon finishing his second term as Head of the Department at the start of March. Deputy
Head Professor Colin Ferguson assumed the role of Acting Head of Department from March until July, when Professor Anne Lillis took up the appointment of Head of Department. The transition was largely seamless owing to the leadership team’s solid commitment to the Department’s mission and vision and understanding of its strategic direction. It has been a very successful year in terms of hiring from the international ‘rookie’ market, with three new Senior Lecturer appointments made: Dr Sandip Dhole from the Indian School of Business, Dr Kelsey Dworkis from USC Marshall School of Business, and Dr Jonathan Jona from City University London. Also appointed was Dr Belen Blanco from Universidad de Navarra, Spain, to a Lecturer position in the Financial Accounting
discipline. These appointments will enhance the Department’s teaching and research portfolios. The Department hosted its 74th Annual Research Lecture ‘Is the Audit Profession Sustainable?’ in conjunction with CPA Australia on 15 October. Attended by around 250 guests, the lecture was delivered by Professor Robert Knechel from the University of Florida, who explored how the nature of the auditing profession has changed in the past two decades, discussing the sustainability of the audit profession in the face of increasing complexity in the global economy, financial and operating environments and regulatory oversight.
NEWS STORIES NEW HEAD OF DEPARTMENT PROFESSOR ANNE LILLIS APPOINTED TO FITZGERALD CHAIR
during 1925–58, the last three years as Professor. He was the first Australian chair appointment in the discipline of accounting.
The Department of Accounting’s newly appointed Head of Department Professor Anne Lillis has also been appointed to the Fitzgerald Chair in Accounting.
Garry Fitzgerald, who fought in the trenches of the Somme during World War I, was also a major figure in Australian accounting, particularly in relation to professional bodies, and was an instrumental figure in the creation of what is now CPA Australia. He was a part-time teacher at the University from 1928 to 1947.
The Chair was the result of a public appeal in 1974 chaired by John Balmford and the late Ken Keown, who were the respective managing partners of Arthur Young and Arthur Andersen, and was named in honour of the Fitzgerald brothers: Sir Alexander (Alec) Fitzgerald (1890–1969), and Garrett (Garry) E Fitzgerald, CMG (1894–1970). Sir Alec is probably the greatest figure in 20th century Australian accounting through his roles as teacher, author, editor, practitioner and public servant, particularly as Chairman of the Commonwealth Grants Commission. He was a founding principal of the Fitzgerald Gunn partnership, a predecessor firm to Ernst and Young, and taught accounting at the University of Melbourne on a part-time basis
The Fitzgerald Chair is a well deserved honour for Professor Lillis.
late Emeritus Professor Allan Barton of the Australian National University (and alumnus of the University of Melbourne). Special guest, Warren McGregor, Independent Financial Reporting Consultant and former inaugural member of the International Accounting Standards Board, delivered an important and timely address on the serious questions being raised about the independence of the assurance/audit profession. The Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia and CPA Australia are the major sponsors of the AAHoF Awards Ceremony Dinner.

Research and research training ARC success The Department had a successful year with the award of two ARC Linkage Grants. First, in conjunction with Royal Botanic Gardens and National Herbarium of Victoria, Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia, Professors and Associate Professors from the Department have teamed with the School of Botany on an innovative carbon accounting project. The team will develop a model to measure the carbon footprint of the Gardens and then create a reliable, relevant and understandable reporting framework to communicate to stakeholders. The second ARC Linkage Project is a study of best practices in corporate governance and risk leadership in geographically distributed financial services operations. The research team, which brings together Professors from the Departments of Accounting and Management and Marketing as well as a senior risk management practitioner from industry, will develop theory and managerial guidance for facilitating control in balancing risk and return in operational financial decision making. Four-year PhD program Department planning for a four-year PhD program, comparable with those offered by peer international accounting departments, has progressed significantly, with the first intake anticipated for 2014. There are two core components in the program – coursework and a major thesis. The coursework will provide students with advanced research-related skills in economics, econometrics, mathematics, psychology and other disciplines necessary to conduct research publishable in top international accounting research journals. The thesis component allows students to apply these skills to accounting research questions and research designs. Industry engagement Located within the Department of Accounting, the Centre for Accounting and Industry Partnerships (CAIP) provides the Department with an important access point for engagement activities with the accounting profession, industry, government
and the business community to advance the accounting discipline. Two of CAIP’s most significant initiatives are: The Executive-in-Residence (EIR) program Distinguished business leaders from a wide range of fields and backgrounds are appointed as Honorary Fellows of the Department and visit the Department as Executives in Residence for shortterm residencies, typically for two weeks. The EIRs are immersed in the teaching and research activities of the Department, presenting seminars and guest lectures, and speaking with students and staff on topics relating to teaching, research and engagement. The EIR program added two senior executives to its ranks in 2013: Des Pearson, ex Auditor-General, Victoria; and Michael Bray, Chair, Energy & Natural Resources, KPMG. This program has proven to be an outstanding success, leading directly to the development of collaborative research projects attracting Australian Research Council Linkage funding and informing teaching materials to ensure they reflect important issues facing accounting and business professionals. The impact of the program has been profound, with EIRs typically remaining involved in the Department in various ways even several years after their residency has concluded. The success of this program is such that several departments within the Faculty and across the University are developing similar initiatives or are considering doing so. Visitors to Department The Melbourne Accounting Research Seminars (MARS) had a successful year, with presentations by leading international and national academics in the accounting, information systems and auditing field. Professor Dennis Campbell, Harvard University and Professor Steve Matsunaga, University, of Oregon, were amongst the highcalibre academics in the seminar series. The program featured presentations from Honorary Professorial Fellows of the Department who hail from major universities in Europe and the United States, including Professor Mary Barth, Stanford University, and Professor Doug Skinner, University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
OUTLOOK 2014 The Department hopes to capitalise on its recent success in the international rookie recruitment market with senior appointments in Financial Accounting and Auditing to strengthen research and mentoring capacity in these disciplines. Three new students have already accepted places in the four-year PhD program, which is a strong outcome for the first year of the program. Now that the program has been established, work in 2014 and beyond will focus on increasing the program’s profile so that it continues to attract quality students. An exciting schedule of very high-profile visitors is being compiled to work with junior faculty and to assist in the further development and delivery of the program. The Centre for Accounting and Industry Partnerships has invited Brett Rix, Vice President, External Reporting and Governance, BHP Billiton Ltd to become an Honorary Fellow of the Department. Mr Rix will visit the Department for his period as Executive in Residence in May 2014. The Department is celebrating a milestone with the presentation of the 75th Annual Research Lecture in October 2014.

BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
The Department of Business Administration was established on 1 May last year, as a part of the collaboration between Melbourne Business School Ltd and the University of Melbourne. The Department is located at 200 Leicester Street and comprises academic staff employed by Melbourne Business School Ltd.
The Department is multidisciplinary, with approximately 45 academic staff across the disciplines of marketing, organisational behaviour, operations, strategy, statistics and econometrics, accounting, finance, and economics. The Department is committed to outstanding research and graduate teaching, recruiting academic staff from the world’s leading business schools. Academic staff in the Department teach a suite of MBA programs, a Masters of Marketing program, and globally ranked executive education programs in management. The MBA suite caters for individuals at different points in their careers and includes a globally ranked full-time MBA program, a part-time MBA program, an executive MBA program, and a senior executive MBA program. REPORT 2013 Research The Department’s academic staff are thought leaders, generating relevant, rigorous research that is published in the leading international academic journals. In the Financial Times’ 2013 global rankings of MBA programs, our full-time MBA program was ranked 66th in the world for research, despite having significantly fewer academic staff than most competing MBA programs. The Department’s academic staff had outstanding success in 2013 in obtaining research grants from the Australian Research Council (ARC). Below are the ARC grants awarded in 2013 that include academic staff from the Department.
Mara Olekalns (Professor of Negotiations): ARC Discovery Grant for ‘Two parts truth, one part lies: Microethical judgements in negotiations’. This project will investigate how three kinds of variables – individual cognition, social perception and social context – combine to affect moral intent and steer negotiators to more or less ethical negotiation strategies. Mara Olekalns (Professor of Negotiations): ARC Discovery Grant for ‘Licensing negotiation: How credits, credentials, and context generate behavioural latitude’. This project will integrate the negotiation, gender stereotypes and psychological licensing literatures to understand how employees’ behavioural histories, and the behavioural histories of their employers, give employees psychological licence to violate stereotyped expectations. The project’s findings will help employees decide when and where to negotiate and enable managers to design workplaces which sustain gender equity. Robert Wood (Professor of Organisational Behaviour): ARC Discovery Grant for ‘Development of cognitive functions in adult populations’. This project will investigate the effects of different training regimes on cognition and a range of related outcomes including transfer of skills, personality change and social functioning.
Ian Williamson (Professor of Organisational Behaviour) and Michelle Evans (Research Fellow): ARC Linkage Grant for ‘Australian Indigenous entrepreneurial leadership’. The project, in partnership with the Victorian Employers’ Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Australian Indigenous Minority Supplier Council, will provide evidence-based research and policy advice on effective business education interventions for Australian Indigenous enterprises and individuals. Isabel Metz (Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour): ARC Linkage Grant for ‘Behind the scenes: Diversity management paradigm shifts and sticking points’. This project, in partnership with Diversity@Work (United Customer Management Solutions) and the Australian Senior Human Resources Roundtable, will investigate how organisations can initiate and direct change processes to manage diversity more effectively and, as a result, experience higher productivity and employee engagement. Michelle Evans (Research Fellow): ARC Linkage Grant for ‘Aboriginal young people in Victoria and digital storytelling’. This project, in partnership with the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation and Sista Girl Productions, will look at Aboriginal youth using digital technology to tell stories (which assert and affirm their identities), and also to produce and consume information in creative and interactive ways that are relevant to them. The project will support creative approaches for building digital literacy, while increasing understandings of Aboriginal culture.

NEWS STORY STUDY ON CHINA’S ONE-CHILD POLICY RECEIVES GLOBAL MEDIA COVERAGE Associate Professor Nisvan Erkal’s study on China’s one-child policy received prominent media coverage in The Australian, BBC News, Bloomberg, Business Insider, The Conversation, CNN, France 24, Fox News, The Independent, The International Business Times, New York Times, TIME and Yahoo! News. The study ‘Little emperors: Behavioural impacts of China’s One-Child Policy’, co-authored with Professors L Camron, L Gangadharan and X Meng, was first published in the prestigious journal Science. The authors documented that China’s One-Child Policy (OCP), one of the most radical approaches to limiting population growth, has produced significantly less trusting, less trustworthy, more risk-averse, less competitive, more pessimistic and less conscientious individuals. Their data were collected from economics experiments conducted with 421 individuals born just before and just after the OCP’s introduction in 1979. Surveys to elicit personality traits were also used. They used the exogenous imposition of the OCP to identify the causal impact of being an only child, net of family background effects.
The Neville Norman and Nilss Olekalns lecture series were created and first presented by the Economics Students Society of Australia in 2013. Dr Tom Wilkening, Professor Chris Edmond and Associate Professor Nisvan Erkal were awarded the Dean’s Prize for Exceptional Distinction in Research. Media agencies highlighted Associate Professor Erkal’s study on the behavioural impact of China’s one-child policy.

FINANCE
The Department of Finance was formally established in July 2001, although finance subjects were taught at the University for many years prior to that date. The Department has grown substantially since its creation, from just over 700 full-time students in 2002 to more than 1500 in 2013. Staffing levels have also expanded from 15 academics in 2002 to 36 academics in 2013.
The finance specialisation is in demand, with more than 3600 student enrolments in third-year Finance major subjects in 2013. The Department continues to offer a strong honours program, with intake restricted to 40 of the very best undergraduate students majoring in Finance. The honours program is well established across Australia and New Zealand, with more applications coming every year from the best interstate and trans-Tasman universities. The Department offers a suite of graduate courses, ranging from the practitioner-oriented Master of Finance to the research-focused PhD in Finance (with coursework). The pre-experience Master of Management (Finance) is designed for students whose undergraduate degree was in a non-business discipline. In 2013, the Department of Finance launched its ‘pre-Doctoral’ program, which provides students the opportunity to undertake an additional year of coursework as preparation for the rigours of independent research before commencing the full PhD course. This program is designed to enhance the research training experience and to provide a greater foundation to its graduates for a career in academia.
REPORT 2013 Research and research training An unequivocal focus on research excellence is generating an increasing number of publications in top-tier journals. In 2013, academics within the Department of Finance had articles accepted for publication in journals that included Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Banking and Finance, International Review of Finance and Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, and presented papers at several national and international conferences including meetings of the American Finance Association, European Finance Association and Financial Management Association. Current research topics of department staff include asset pricing, derivatives and risk management, corporate finance, market microstructure, financial institutions, real estate finance, financial econometrics, neurofinance, governance, behavioural finance, mutual fund management and international finance.
The emphasis on a strong research culture is making its mark on the Department’s annual recruitment of junior academics; high-quality applicants have come from the very best international graduate schools. In research training, the Department proudly saw PhD students Yaqiong Yao, Jiaguo Wang, Tze Chuan Ang and Mohd Edil Abd Sukor complete their candidatures and take up appointments at the University of Manchester, University of Lancaster, University of Malaysia, and Deakin University, respectively. Academic links and visits Enhancing our teaching, research, and engagement activities, the Department hosts prominent international visiting academics and has strong links with most leading finance departments in the world. The research culture in the Department is enhanced by a prestigious Research Seminar Series, which, in 2013, included speakers from London Business School, Stanford, UPenn, UCLA and Nanyang Tech.
NEWS STORY HOW THE BRAIN MAKES FINANCIAL DECISIONS ‘How the brain makes financial decisions’ was the opening keynote speech of the 2013 Finance Down Under® Conference. Delivered by the world-renowned expert in this field, Professor Peter Bossaerts (California Institute of Technology), the presentation described some of the intricate processes the brain uses to learn about risk, and how these processes are linked to our everyday financial behaviour. Studying neural activation patterns while people are making decisions provides a richer view of finance than traditional approaches that focus purely on behaviour. It allows researchers to shed light on aspects of financial behaviour that are inaccessible
with traditional methods, such as the computations the brain performs when people are making decisions. Although this line of research is still in its infancy, Professor Bossaerts’ remarks made clear that existing theories of financial decision making are often overly simplistic – and sometimes misleading – and that we will have to revise our understanding of how people make financial choices. Professor Bossaerts’ insights set the tone for the Finance Down Under® conference, which since its inaugural conference in 2006 has rapidly obtained a prestigious international reputation. Every year finance academics who have shifted the barriers of understanding within this field convene at this unique conference.

The Centre will tackle the problem of deep and persistent disadvantage, which is characterised by the spread of social and economic poverty in families and across generations despite overall improvements in the broader society. Journeys Home funding extended In April, it was announced that additional funding for the Journeys Home study would be provided to enable a further two survey waves. Journeys Home is a longitudinal study that is following a sample of Centrelink customers who have faced, or are facing, serious housing difficulties. The study is set to continue until at least the end of 2014, and will provide a study of the housing circumstances of disadvantaged people over a three-year period. Events Our first Medicine in Australia: Balancing Employment and Life (MABEL) Research Forum was held in April. The aim of the forum was to disseminate results from research using MABEL data, in the context of key medical and health workforce policy issues. Eighty participants from medical colleges, postgraduate education councils, rural workforce agencies, Health Workforce Australia, and Commonwealth and State departments, as well as academic researchers, contributed to a day of discussion around a number of research projects. The 6th biennial HILDA Survey Research Conference was held in Melbourne in October. Around 185 registered to attend, with 38 presentations delivered, focusing on using HILDA data. The conference was opened by Dr Matthew Butlin, Chair of the Melbourne Institute Advisory Board, and the keynote address was delivered by Associate Professor Richard Lucas, from Michigan State. The speaker at the conference dinner was the Hon Andrew Leigh MP. Reports and publications The Melbourne Institute Policy Briefs Series was launched and saw six issues published examining current policy issues and providing an independent platform to public debate. In 2013, the Melbourne Institute joined forces with St George Bank to produce the St George– Melbourne Institute Household Financial Conditions Index. This quarterly report is based on a representative survey of 1200 households
from all over Australia. Data from this survey provides up-to-date measures of household saving performance and asset choice. The Westpac–Melbourne Institute Survey of House Price Expectations was launched as a monthly series in November 2013. The report is concerned with consumers’ views about expected house prices. Promotions and appointments Dr Guyonne Kalb was promoted to Professor, effective January 2013. Professor Kalb joined the Melbourne Institute in January 2001 and currently is Director of the Melbourne Institute’s Labour Economic and Social Policy Research Program. Dr Gaétan de Rassenfosse was promoted to Senior Research Fellow, effective September 2013. Dr de Rassenfosse joined the Melbourne Institute in October 2010 and works with the Industrial Economics Research Program. Dr Russell Thomson was promoted to Senior Research Fellow, effective September 2013. Dr Thomson joined the Melbourne Institute in January 2009 and works with the Industrial Economics Research Program. Professor John Haisken-DeNew is a Professorial Research Fellow within the Economics of Education and Child Development Research Program at the Melbourne Institute. From March 2013, Professor Haisken-DeNew has also been appointed as the Associate Dean (Research and Research Training) for the Faculty of Business and Economics. Professor David Ribar has been appointed as a Professorial Research Fellow at Melbourne Institute. His appointment is one of the University’s R@MAP appointments. Dr Ribar is currently a Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Much of his research focuses on issues associated with poverty. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Population Economics and co-editor of the Southern Economic Journal. Professor Ribar will be visiting the Melbourne Institute in March 2014 and will join the Melbourne Institute full-time from the middle of 2014; his research will focus on poverty economics (with an emphasis on housing security, food security, and social inclusion).

OUTLOOK 2014 A workshop on Homelessness and Housing Insecurity will be held early in the year that will involve leading international researchers discussing the latest research. Topics will address both the determinants and consequences of housing vulnerability, and importantly what we can learn from international approaches to prevent homelessness. This workshop is the first stage in launching a major research agenda around these topics at the Melbourne Institute. Following on the success of the Inaugural MABEL Research Forum in 2013, a second MABEL Research Forum will be held in April. The forum will discuss research using the MABEL data in a form that is accessible to academics, policymakers and other stakeholders. In July, the Melbourne Institute will host its 9th Economic and Social Outlook Conference, Pathways to Growth: The Reform Imperative, jointly with The Australian. The thread running through our previous conferences has been that continued policy reform can enrich Australia’s overall wellbeing while providing opportunities for all. The format has established itself as the nation’s premiere economic and social public policy conference, providing a unique forum bringing together leading politicians, bureaucrats, academics and non-government organisation representatives. Issues explored by the two-day conference will include budget sustainability, education, infrastructure, trade with Asia, aged care, federalism, the labour market and employment, climate change and energy, social disadvantage and exclusion and the end of the age of entitlement. The Melbourne Institute will also be launching the Westpac–Melbourne Institute Small Business Index. This quarterly research report aims to provide information about the economic health of Australian small businesses.
2013 HILDA REPORT SOUNDS THE ALARM ON CHILD POVERTY
$3 MILLION FUNDING FOR UNIQUE HOMELESS STUDY
Australian children under the care of just one parent are three times more likely than other children to live in poverty, new data from Australia’s most comprehensive household survey has revealed.
A unique research study conducted by the Institute that examines the extent and causes of homelessness in Australia has received an additional $3 million in funding by the Australian Government.
The Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, produced by the Melbourne Institute, found 24.1% of children living with a single parent are subjected to poverty, compared with just 7.6% of children in two-parent homes. The rate of lone parent child poverty has jumped a staggering 15% since 2001.
Since the Journeys Home study began in 2010, it has been following the lives of more than 1600 Australians who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. A longitudinal research survey like this on the issue of homelessness is unique in Australia, and it is providing a picture of the diverse social, economic and personal factors related to housing stability.
The report’s editor and co-author, Associate Professor Roger Wilkins, said the results were startling. ‘These figures show that while some progress has been made to drag children out of poverty, big challenges remain.’ HILDA is Australia’s only large-scale nationally representative longitudinal household survey. It uses annual interviews with more than 12 000 Australians to create a detailed picture of how their lives are changing over time. ‘Since it began in 2001, HILDA has provided valuable insights into the economic and social lives of Australians,’ said Associate Professor Wilkins. The HILDA Survey is funded by the Australian Government through the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA).
Findings from the study are presented in waves and to date two waves have been issued. In announcing the additional $3 million in funding for Journeys Home, Minister for Housing and Homelessness Mark Butler highlighted how the 2008 Government White Paper on Homelessness, The Road Home, identified a lack of research and data on homelessness. Parliamentary Secretary for Homelessness and Social Housing Melissa Parke highlighted that ‘extending Journeys Home for another year will further develop our understanding of what differentiates people who have been able to move out of homelessness from those who have not’.

PROFESSIONAL STAFF REPORT 2013 ADVANCEMENT The Advancement Unit had an important role in the launch of the Campaign for the University of Melbourne, and the Dean, Professor Paul Kofman, and the Director of Advancement, Mr Stephen May, attended the international launches. Faculty alumni played a critical role supporting the University to achieve more than $285 million towards its long-term goal of raising $500 million. The Melbourne Foundation for Business and Economics held its annual Foundation Dinner in the Great Hall at the NGV in March 2013 and 580 senior business leaders, 405 of whom were identified as alumni, attended. The evening raised $455 000; the total raised since the first dinner in 2011 is in excess of $1.5 million. The Alumni Relations team initiated an online mentoring program matching students with mentors in their home countries, assisting them to build networks and develop their careers. FINANCE In 2013, the Finance Unit recruited staff into new roles. An Oracle upgrade was implemented in the Faculty with minimal disruption and has improved the Faculty’s compliance outcomes.
SERVICE LEVEL AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT (SLFM) A key achievement was the establishment of the SLFM unit and appointment of staff. There was significant progress made in transitioning workplace computing into the Faculty. The AV upgrade and Centre for Workplace Leadership (CWL) capital works projects were approved and will be completed in early 2014. Through maintaining relationships with University service providers the SLFM ensured that facilities were managed in a safe and effective manner.
• establishment of the Department of Business Administration ensuing from the collaboration with the Melbourne Business School • completion of a major change program within the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) • appointment of staff to key roles in the Centre for Workplace Leadership. MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS A focus of the Marketing and Communications Unit in 2013 was transitioning the former Graduate School of Business and Economics brand over to the Melbourne Business School. This involved substantial work in rebranding relevant marketing and communications materials, including the development of a new graduate school website and prospectus. Other achievements included the implementation of a video content strategy, building social media capability to encompass Chinese language, and the delivery of outstanding results in relation to media outreach and brand.
Priorities for 2014 include contributing to the implementation of the Business Improvement Program; implementation of the new Enterprise Agreement and the Academic Career Development and Professional Staff Career Development frameworks; training staff in the University’s Responsible Conduct of Staff Policy; implementation of HR system enhancements including Themis R2 and relocation services; and facilitating the Staff Survey Implementation Plan. MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS
RESEARCH SUPPORT A focus in the early part of 2013 was the Research and Research Training workstream for the FBE–Melbourne Business School Ltd collaboration. The Unit launched support services to maximise opportunities for researchers, including grant mentoring; dedicated access to research consultations and training programs delivered by the Giblin’s Liaison Librarian; and development of department-specific research administrative support.

HUMAN RESOURCES A new business partnering model enabled the Human Resources Unit to build strong relationships with existing and new members of the Faculty’s leadership teams, resulting in positive outcomes for their respective units. These included:
HUMAN RESOURCES
ADVANCEMENT In 2014, the Advancement Unit will focus on the University’s priority to develop a Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The Centre will bring initiatives for innovation and entrepreneurship, enabling the University to contribute to the potential of Australia’s knowledge economy. The Unit will build support for research areas across the Faculty; attract support for scholarships; and provide bursaries giving students opportunities for a global experience. New initiatives are an online alumni-to-alumni mentoring program to support final-year students who will enter the business world for the first time; and a graduating class gift program, providing recent graduates an opportunity to give back to the Faculty. FINANCE The University is introducing two new financial systems, i-procurement and Hyperio, as well as changes to the corporate finance operational model as part of its Business Improvement Program.
We aim to build stronger ties with our colleagues at MBS@Leicester, to further knowledge, share best practice and capitalise on opportunities to build the MBS brand across programs. Areas of focus will include a content marketing strategy to enhance the recruitment experience for candidates; increased analytics to drive innovation and ROI; brand building in domestic and international markets; and a review of processes to manage market opportunities and challenges. SERVICE LEVEL AND FACILITIES MANAGEMENT In 2014, we will continue to build the team and take on responsibilities as required. Capital works are planned that will enhance spaces in the Faculty. RESEARCH SUPPORT The Research Support Unit will work closely with the Associate Dean (Research and Research Training) to improve research income and grant performance. These include the R@MAP professorial positions, postdoctoral schemes and more RHD scholarships. The collaboration may result in a review of performance expectations and research incentives to achieve strategic objectives. We will develop initiatives to build cohort experience and manage a 100% increase in new student admissions. A critical area for the Unit will be refinement of the four-year Doctoral Programs, with the Departments of Accounting and Finance joining Economics in offering a fouryear program and Management and Marketing scheduled to launch one in 2015.

Research and research training RESEARCH REPORT 2013 Publications The Faculty is building on its impressive publications record, returning 446 publications with increased representation in book chapters and flagship refereed journals (see Appendix E on pages 72–85 for list of 2013 publications). In 2013, the Faculty has consolidated its place as one of the top 100 institutions in the world for Economics and Business in the prestigious Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). Refereed journal articles Although the final returns for the 2013 refereed journal publications (Higher Education Research Data Collection or ‘HERDC’ C1) are not available at the time of writing, the Faculty’s 2013 performance against the past performance from 2008 is illustrated in the graph. The highest-ranked refereed journal publications of A+/A* have reached their highest levels since 2008. The number of publications at the slightly lower level A has reduced slightly, whereas the lowest levels B, C and unranked NA are at their fewest over this time period.
Thus the concerted effort in the Faculty to change the mix of the quality of publication by focusing on the best quality A+/A* journals has been successful. Each publication is categorised by the new ABDC journal classification (abdc.edu.au) and weighted inversely by the number of co-authors. Almost identical qualitative results are obtained using the discontinued ERA 2012 journals list (gov.au/era).
Although the new ABDC system has no official concept of A+ journals, these are reported additionally as extremely highly respected inter-disciplinary A* journals from the fields of science and medicine, such as Science, British Medical Journal and Social Science & Medicine. Those journals that do not have an ABDC ranking are listed as NA (Not Available).

NEW SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT LAUNCHED The Faculty of Business and Economics, the Faculty of Arts and the Law School at the University have come together to launch the Melbourne School of Government (MSoG). The School aims to develop innovative responses to public policy and governance questions, foster a culture of public debate and help train the Asia–Pacific’s next generation of political leaders. The MSoG Director, Professor Helen Sullivan, said the School will work with policymakers and the general public. ‘We will have an ongoing, genuine and robust dialogue with business leaders, government departments, agencies and NGOs, as well as the world’s best thinktanks and academic institutions.’
Co-Dean of the Faculty, Professor Paul Kofman, highlighted the opportunities: ‘The Melbourne School of Government creates a unique opportunity to effectively exploit our teaching and research strengths in the economics and business aspects of public policy. By collaborating we can begin to explore interdisciplinary solutions to pressing multidimensional public policy problems in areas like ageing and health, food security, resources taxation, population growth and urban planning.’
RESEARCH AT MELBOURNE ACCELERATOR PROGRAM (R@MAP) The R@MAP program, initiated by the University’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research (DVCR), sought to establish
50 new professorships by providing seed funding, for an estimated total expenditure of approximately $50 million, with the express purpose of attracting successful oversees researchers to the University. These R@MAP professors were intended to address explicitly the Three Grand Challenges of the University: understanding our place and purpose; fostering health and wellbeing; and supporting sustainability and resilience. There were two rounds of funding. In each round, the FBE was successful in receiving funding support from the R@MAP program. Currently from R@MAP round one, there were two successful appointments. Although the Faculty was in general quite successful in receiving support from the R@MAP program itself, attracting professors from the international market has proven challenging.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013, OUTLOOK 2014
Research projects Centre for Workplace Leadership (CWL) Director: Peter Gahan (Management and Marketing). Theme Leaders: Bill Harley, Robert Wood, David Shallcross (Management and Marketing). Total funding $12 million over four years. The Centre for Workplace Leadership will collaborate with other universities, industry peak associations and the Australian Council for Trade Unions (ACTU) to deliver workplace management training, with a focus on managers in small and medium-sized businesses. The aim of the Centre is to ensure Australia can create high productivity, high quality, and secure jobs for the future workforce. Total funding includes $12 million over four years from the Australian Government and $5 million cash and in-kind contributions from businesses and the University. ARC Centre of Excellence (CoE) Children and families over the life course Chief Investigator: Deborah Cobb-Clark (Melbourne Institute). Associate Investigators: Guyonne Kalb (Melbourne Institute), Chris Ryan (Melbourne Institute). Externally led by Janeen Baxter, University of Queensland. CoE total funding $20 million over seven years. Families are key components in the transmission of disadvantage between generations and over the life course; for example, children of poor or uneducated parents do not do well in the labour market themselves. This CoE’s challenge is to identify the mechanisms underlying these processes and develop policies to reduce disadvantage and minimise harms. The CoE team will advance basic, applied and translational research with the aim of reducing intergenerational and long-term disadvantage. Through the maturation of longitudinal datasets and advanced data integration we can follow the journeys of Australian families over generations and across the life course. The CoE team will use these datasets to provide empirical evidence for new policies to combat disadvantage and thereby make a real difference to the lives of children and families.
Faculty’s first FBE ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Tom Wilkening (Economics): Extending economic design to non-market settings: An experimental study of mechanism design with intention-based preferences Dr Tom Wilkening of the Department of Economics is the Faculty’s first DECRA recipient. His project studies mechanism design in experimental settings where individuals exhibit a desire to be kind to those who have been kind to them and unkind to those who have not. A highly mathematical and abstract branch of game theory, mechanism design theory’s pioneers were awarded the Nobel Prize in 2007. The Committee noted in its statement announcing the award: ‘[The theory] allows us to distinguish situations in which markets work well from those in which they do not. It has helped economists identify efficient trading mechanisms, regulation schemes and voting procedures.’ Dr Wilkening’s research has concrete applications in real-world settings. One aim is to improve the contracts written between firms and their suppliers to protect the suppliers from risk, protect the firm from unexpected costs, and reduce the potential of protracted arbitration and litigation. ARC Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) Potential rebid – Amalgamation of the MII CRC and the AM CRC University of Melbourne’s Manufacturing Industry Innovation CRC The original bids for the MII CRC and the directly competing, and currently funded, AM CRC (amcrc.com.au) were initially rejected outright for funding, but both were recommended for a joint rebid process. The Ministry for Education has signalled that a joint competitive bid could be resubmitted until June 2014. MII CRC as initially tendered was intended to build broad capability for innovative manufacturing in Australian firms by transforming their agility, absorptive capacity, speed to market and investment capabilities. Specifically, the CRC was intended to focus on providing the tools and techniques for Australian firms to make informed business decisions that will improve their productivity, efficiency and agility.
37
The proposed CRC represents an innovative approach to bolstering the manufacturing sector by focusing on: • researching technological disruptions and their impact on the sector • identifying technological advances that will enhance absorptive capacity in firms and improve their agility • developing business models focused on achieving business success through accessible innovation • increasing speed to market through rapid productisation • developing models and tools to help the investment sector to assess innovation risk • creating a structured approach to clustering to drive sector sustainability • developing and training postgraduates and postdoctoral fellows to provide them with the skills needed to produce innovative end-user centred solutions. The negotiation process has started between the teams of University of Melbourne’s own MII CRC and the competing AM CRC to arrive at a revised joint bid incorporating components of both research agendas under a new name and leadership.
In 2013, the Faculty has consolidated its place as one of the top 100 institutions in the world for Economics and Business in the prestigious Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU).

Industrial Transformation Research Program (ITRP) Unlocking the food value chain: Australian food industry transformation for ASEAN markets The ARC’s Industrial Transformation Research Hubs scheme supports collaborative research activity between the Australian higher education sector and industry, designed to focus on strategic outcomes not independently realisable. Academics from the Department of Management and Marketing (Professor Danny Samson and Associate Professor Angela Paladino) and the Melbourne Institute (Professor Elizabeth Webster), in collaboration with colleagues from the Faculties of Engineering, MDHS, Science and MSLE, are leading the University of Melbourne’s team of experts who are working in partnership with Kraft Foods in an integrated research program to enhance Asian export opportunities for manufactured confectionery. The Research Hub will develop new product insights and innovative production technologies that will enable Australia’s largest manufacturing sector to exploit new markets such as India and China. The Food Research Hub will receive $2 million for the life of the project. Grants The Faculty has been active in attracting funding from Australian Research Council (ARC) Category I income (nationally competitive bids), including Discovery, Discovery for Early Career Researchers, and the Centre of Excellence program. Among a number of achievements in 2013, there was an almost 150% increase in the number of ARC Discovery Project grant applications (from nine to 22), with an improved success rate of 27%. For the first time, the Faculty was successful in the Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) grant category.
To improve Category IV funding performance through increased participation in key University research initiatives, FBE has partnered with the Faculty of Engineering, the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and the Australian Industry Group (AI Group) to lead a bid for a Manufacturing Industry Innovation tri-sectoral Cooperative Research Centre grant. For more details on 2013 grants please see each Department report on pages 22–33. OUTLOOK 2014 Looking forward to the ARC round starting with funding in 2015, the current submissions for Discovery Project (DP) and Discovery for Early Career Researcher Awards (DECRA) look encouraging, yet are at a reduced level compared to those projects starting in 2014. Currently 15 DP applications are slated for submission to the ARC for 2015 funding: one from Accounting, two from Economics, one from Finance, four from Management and Marketing, and seven from Melbourne Institute. There are six DECRA applications: one from MBS, one from Management and Marketing, three from Melbourne Institute, and one from Economics. Negotiations for the joint Cooperative Research Centre between AM CRC and MII CRC are only just now starting. The total value of the original MII CRC bid was $50 million, however the value of the new joint bid is as yet unclear and will be determined by the negotiation process. Within FBE, Management and Marketing and the Melbourne Institute are expected to be apportioned funding under the new CRC.

ASIA PACIFIC SOCIAL IMPACT LEADERSHIP CENTRE (APSILC) APSILC was established in 2008, in partnership with the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust, and is led by Professor Ian O Williamson, who is an internationally respected academic, business leader and social innovator. The four main areas of activity for APSILIC are: • Indigenous business development: APSILC’s work in this area is based on the theory of social change that by enhancing the business acumen of Indigenous business leaders, they will be more successful at recognising and exploiting opportunities for their businesses. This will lead to greater business growth, which in turn supports job creation and community stability and increases in the overall wealth of the Indigenous community. The centrepiece of APSILC’s work in this area is the MURRA Indigenous Business Masterclass Program (murra means ‘fish net’ in the Woi Wurrung language of the Wurundjeri people of Melbourne). Consistent with its name, the MURRA program is designed to ‘capture’ and develop Indigenous business leaders. • Building capacity in the third sector: APSILC works to enhance third-sector organisations by developing greater organisational acumen in third-sector leaders. Third-sector organisations seek to achieve social objectives in line with their particular mission. Social enterprises are organisations that trade to fulfil their social missions. APSILC projects in this area include (1) partnering with the non-profit organisation Social Traders on The Crunch program, which teams emerging social enterprises with MBA student mentors, (2) producing reports on branding as a tool for engagement for the public gallery sector, and (3) organising forums on issues such as sustainable mining and partnerships between business, government and NGOs in development aid. • Pathways to work: Employment and economic independence are crucial components of social equity. APSILC has developed initiatives to examine how pathways to work for underrepresented job seekers can be increased. The Centre’s work in this area focuses on projects related to human resources strategy and recruitment, talent search and corporate social responsibility practices in the business community.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013, OUTLOOK 2014
• Creating shared value: All organisations seek to create value, whether economic, social or environmental. The private sector has historically focused on creating economic value, typically leaving the social and environmental dimensions to government, philanthropic and non-profit sectors. However, a new approach is taking hold globally in which business embraces blended value creation, which reintegrates commerce and community in order to generate a greater total value for society. APSILC is working to help Australian companies create blended value in their operations. APSILC is a model for how business schools can serve as positive change agents in their communities. The success of APSILC has positioned the Department as an international leader in connecting business education with social outcomes. CENTRE FOR ACTUARIAL STUDIES The Centre for Actuarial Studies is located in the Department of Economics.

CENTRE FOR MARKET DESIGN (CMD) The Centre for Market Design is a collaborative undertaking of the Department of Treasury and Finance of Victoria, the Commonwealth Treasury and the University of Melbourne. The CMD executive is made up of Professor Peter Bardsley (the Centre’s Director), Associate Professor Simon Loertscher (Deputy Director Research) and Mr Gary Stoneham (Department of Treasury and Finance; Deputy Director Policy). CMD aims to build capacity within Australian universities and governmental departments to use market-based solutions to enhance the efficiency of various allocations problems which range from trading environmental goods to allocating child care and kindergarten slots, and human services.
Achievements 2013 CMD develops policy mechanisms that achieve the stated objectives of government which embody the efficiency properties normally observed in markets. In 2013, the Centre continued to develop policy projects in a diverse range of policy domains including kidney exchange, child care, human services, energy markets and electricity procurement. A major project was completed for the Commonwealth Government to design a cash-bidding system to allocate mature offshore petroleum acreage in June, and work commenced on an 18-month joint project with the Centre for Biosecurity Risk Analysis for the Department of Agriculture on incentives in biosecurity border protection. In the CMD’s research domain, contributions to directly support the salary costs of economists whose research is directly relevant to the CMD were made with the express aim of building research capacity. In 2013, the CMD fully supported the salary cost of one level B position in Economic Theory. In addition, through a contribution of the Melbourne Energy Institute (MEI), matched by equal Faculty funding, the CMD supported a second position in Energy Economics. The CMD again contributed $30 000 to the Economic Theory and Experimental Economics Group convened by Professor Claudio Mezzetti to support its program of visitors, seminars and workshops in market design. The CMD also played host to a number of highly regarded international researchers in 2013. Partial funding from the CMD supported a visit by Professor Tayfun Sonmez from the Department of Economics, Boston College to the Department of Economics in August. Throughout his weeklong visit, Professor Sonmez met with Centre staff and research affiliates, attended meetings with high-level public servants and participated in a teleconference on the CMD’s kidney exchange project that included Professor Paolo Ferrari from the University of Western Australia. Professor Sonmez also gave a seminar titled ‘The demise of walk zones in Boston: Priorities vs precedence in school choice’. Professor Lones Smith from the University of Wisconsin gave a two-day mini-course on search and matching in March that was widely attended by academics, research students and public servants. A one-day workshop on industrial organisation was held in December, with presentations from CMD Deputy Director Research Associate Professor Simon Loerstcher, Dr David Byrne from the Department of Economics/CMD, Dr Gaurab Aryal from ANU (now at the University of Chicago) and Dr Nicolas De Roos from the University of Sydney.
CENTRE FOR SOCIAL INVESTMENT RESEARCH (CSIR) The Centre for Social Investment Research is focused on facilitating the development of collaborative research projects across a broad social investment research agenda. CSIR is a joint initiative between the Department of Accounting via the Centre for Accounting and Industry Partnerships and the Department of Management and Marketing that has been made possible through the Faculty Strategic Research Initiative scheme. In its second year of operation, CSIR facilitates research that will enhance the existing understanding of the nature, implications and consequences of social investment for organisations and governments. CSIR focuses primarily on private sector social investments, but also incorporates government and other organisational roles through direct involvement, or through the development of policy and concepts of best practice. CSIR is also working closely with the Asia–Pacific Social Impact Leadership Centre (Melbourne Business School) to expand on the many synergies that exist across the two centres. CSIR has a number of research projects under way which have attracted a range of internal and external research funding. In undertaking these projects, CSIR academics are collaborating with various organisations across several fields internationally. The outcomes of these projects will be used to inform applications for larger, more substantial projects in 2014. ECONOMIC THEORY AND EXPERIMENTS UNIT (ETEU) The Department of Economics and the Melbourne Business School jointly operate the Economic Theory and Experiments Unit. The ETEU objectives are: to promote research of the highest standards in all areas of economic theory; to be a focus within Australia for research in economic theory; to facilitate both national and international affiliations and research linkages; to facilitate the training of research students, and the exchange of doctoral and postdoctoral students; to be a focus for external research funding; to run conferences, workshops and advanced short courses for research students; and to publish occasional monographs and proceedings. Seminar coordinators for 2013 were Dr Jun Xiao and Dr Guy Mayraz. The Director of the Unit is Professor Claudio Mezzetti.
ANNUAL REPORT 2013, OUTLOOK 2014
Achievements 2013 In combination with the Centre for Market Design, the Unit organised a very successful mini-course on ‘The economics of matching’ with Lones Smith from the University of Wisconsin as the lead instructor.

EXPERIMENTAL ECONOMICS LABORATORY The Experimental Economics Laboratory was opened in 2007 to promote the use of experimental methods in economics research and policy making. The laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility with 30 fully partitioned workstations and a separate experimenter’s office. The controlled environment allows experimenters to measure the effect of variables of interest while isolating that of others. Experiments thus allow clear causal inference to be made in a way which is often impossible outside the laboratory. The Experimental Economics Laboratory developed and performed nine major experiments throughout 2013. Some of the topics studied in these experiments included understanding how visualisation of information impacts decision making in a bushfire setting, social norms of fairness, effectiveness of learning, incentives to share knowledge, information transmission in markets, how mechanisms can be designed to facilitate bilateral trade, and the effects of authority. The research enabled by the laboratory resulted in publications in the following outlets in 2013: Science, European Economic Review, Economic Inquiry, and American Economic Review. The Laboratory maintains an extensive and up-to-date database of potential research participants, providing a valuable resource for researchers both within and external to the Department of Economics.
HOUSEHOLDS RESEARCH UNIT (HRU) As an independently funded research group within the Department of Economics, the Households Research Unit investigates the economic structure of households and their interaction with the market economy. Since 1991, the HRU has continued and expanded the innovative research program first undertaken in the 1980s by the Centre for Applied Research on the Future. Dr Duncan Ironmonger is the founding and current Director of the Unit. Professor Jonathan Gershuny, Director of the Oxford University Centre for Time Use Research, visited the HRU in January for discussions on time use and specifically the HRU’s innovative Daily Living in Australia survey, which used personal consumption diaries to collect data on daily living activities for all household members, including children, in a representative sample of households in Melbourne. In February, Dr Ironmonger presented a Melbourne Institute Seminar on ‘US household production and the global financial crisis’; in September, he was invited to Volunteering Australia’s 15th National Conference in Adelaide as a panel participant and as a guest speaker in the research round table. Honorary Research Fellow, Dr Ohidul Haque, presented a paper on ‘Evaluation of the effectiveness of police road safety initiatives: An intervention time series analysis’ at the Road Safety and Simulation International Conference in Rome in October. In conjunction with Dr Peter Brain of the National Institute of Economic and Industry Research, Dr Ironmonger prepared the ‘Country report on Australia’ for the World Project LINK meeting held at the United Nations in New York in October. The Unit participated in Volunteering Victoria’s round tables for researchers and practitioners in May and November.

MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS RESEARCH UNIT (MIBRU) In 2013, three new members joined the Melbourne International Business Research Unit. Professors Jane Lu and Dean Xu bring extensive international business research backgrounds, with particular strengths in the area of emerging Asian multinationals. Dr Majid Abdi joined us from Schulich Business School (Canada). MIBRU members were active across the major conferences. Articles from MIBRU members appeared in a variety of top journals in 2013, including Strategic Management Journal, Journal of Management Studies, Journal of World Business, Management International Review and Business History Review. We hosted visitors from the Netherlands, Austria and China, and completion seminars by two of our PhD students. The first annual report on Australia’s Women in Global Business was also released, part of a five-year program in conjunction with Austrade and other government agencies. MICROECONOMETRICS RESEARCH UNIT Professor Jenny Williams was Director of the Unit in 2013. It was a full and fruitful year for the Unit, as it engaged with its members and the wider academic community through its regular seminar series, research blitzes, special events workshops and symposia. From April 2013, members from both the Economics Department and the Melbourne Institute were co-located in the new FBE building at 111 Barry street. The Unit celebrated this event at a get-together following the inaugural seminar given at their new joint location.
Special event workshops and symposia Another key activity is the special events workshops and symposia. This year the Unit held five such events. They were: • The Bayesian Econometrics Workshop (25 February), which featured Dale Poirier (University of California Irvine) • The Development Workshop (15 March), with invited speakers Chris Barrett (Cornell University), Sarah Baird (George Washington University) and Berk Ozler (Otago University and the World Bank) • 6th Annual Health Economics Workshop (24 April) • The Melbourne–Princeton Immigration Workshop (1 July), with invited speakers Marta Tienda (Princeton University), Alicia Adsera (Princeton) and Thomas Bauer, Ruhr-Universität Bochum • The Health and Education Workshop (3 July), with invited speakers Steven Leher (Queen’s University), Weili Ding (Queen’s University) and Don Kenkel (Cornell University) In 2014, the scope of the Unit will expand to include macroeconometrics. Accordingly, from 2014, it will be renamed the Econometrics Research Unit. THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF AUSTRALIA (IPRIA) The Intellectual Property Research Institute of Australia was established in 2002. It is a national research centre run by the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Business and Economics and the Melbourne Business School. IPRIA objectives are to:

‘From day one, we were immersed in a world of interesting and complex problems. The coordinators did a spectacular job, demanding that students be autonomous, decisive and resourceful within an unfamiliar environment and amongst new people. ‘Real life is infinitely more complicated than the classroom and I gained invaluable insight into the intricacies of working life. I also learned that it is possible to achieve a huge amount in a very short space of time. I exceeded my personal expectations and identified my capabilities and strengths. I also confronted my own shortcomings, but discovered that with the combined power of several unique minds, individual weaknesses can be overcome.

GLOBAL COMMUNITY The Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE) has a strong commitment to a global outlook in learning and teaching, research and knowledge transfer. Building on the quality of its academic programs and learning facilities, and with the support of a strong alumni network, the Faculty maintained its commitment to recruiting high-quality staff and students, and its engagement with the business community and leading international business and economics schools. The Faculty offers a generous scholarship scheme that aims to recruit highachieving local and international students.
NEWS STORIES INTERNATIONAL LECTURES Throughout 2013, a number of academics from the FBE presented public lectures in cities including Bangkok, Shanghai, Beijing, Jakarta, Seoul and Singapore. These covered topics such as motivating staff, China’s economic growth, negotiations and financial literacy.
HIGHLIGHTS Asia Strategy FBE has a long history of engagement with Asia in student recruitment, institutional linkages, research collaborations and alumni networks. In 2012, as part of our commitment to being a leader in the Asia–Pacific region, FBE developed a comprehensive Asia Strategy. The Strategy provides an integrated approach to pursuing our aspirations in the region and covers research, learning and teaching, institutional linkages and engagement with government and business. Implementation of the strategy began in late 2012. Dual degrees In 2012, a decision was taken to develop dual degree arrangements with top business and economics schools around the world. As a first step, agreements have been developed with HEC (Montreal) in Canada and Universita Luigi Bocconi in Italy. These arrangements allow students from either institution to complete a dual masters program by studying at both institutions. This is a first step in the development of a comprehensive suite of dual degrees with partners around the world. Global partners FBE has agreements with institutions around the world, which facilitate opportunities for students to undertake exchange and for academic staff to collaborate with colleagues overseas. For a list of our global partners, see Appendix C on page 55–57.
GLOBAL STUDENT MOBILITY ‘I was fortunate enough to go on both an exchange and a study abroad – undoubtedly the best two decisions I made whilst studying at the University of Melbourne. After living in Melbourne all of my life, to live independently in a new country and be exposed to new languages and cultures taught me a lot about myself, and I also came to appreciate the things I love about Melbourne.’ – Nicholas Taylor ‘I went to North America in July 2012 with the International Accounting Study Program. Our site visits were fantastic and we had the opportunity to meet with leaders in industry such as the CFO of Walt Disney Corp and with regulatory bodies such as the Securities and Exchange Commission. I made some great friends on the trip and also got to experience sights such as Hollywood, Niagara Falls and Times Square.’ – Belinda Boyle
Public lectures showcase the excellence of our academic staff and are a very effective mechanism to engage with alumni, industry, prospective students, the academic community and the general public. Many of the public lectures also attract attention from local media outlets. They are a valuable way for the FBE and the University of Melbourne to engage with the international community. We are looking forward to expanding the international public lecture program in the future.
