Our Faculty has been a pioneer in the business education field in Australia: the first chair in economics in 1855, the first marketing course in the 1930’s, the first accounting chair in 1954, and equal first MBA program in 1963 (now offered through the Melbourne Business School).

Message from the Dean

>

We have continued this proud tradition by launching new programs such as the Master of Applied Commerce, Master of Applied Finance, Master of Business and Information Technology and the Master of International Business, to name a few. We have also continued to develop the Bachelor of Commerce program, the leading course of its type in Australia.

With 34 full professors, 145 faculty, nearly 7,000 students and 23,000 alumni, the Faculty is a powerhouse in its field.

In 2004, I would make particular mention of the: – Appointment of two Nobel Laureates, Professor Sir Clive Granger from the University of California (San Diego) and Professor Sir James Mirrlees from Cambridge University. These eminent scholars will both add greatly to our research activities and support our undergraduate and research training programs – Expansion of our equity programs to provide access to disadvantaged students – Diversity of our 2,000-strong international student cohort, supported by a significant expansion of our international exchange program with overseas universities – Teaching and learning awards our staff received – High rate of output of first-rate research.

Collectively, these things are helping us to maintain a position of leadership in Australia. But local leadership will not be enough. In the global university marketplace of today, the spectre of a quasi-monopoly over talent is real with the increasing power of the top Northern Hemisphere business schools. This is of vital concern for Australia, not just for students past, present and future, but for employers seeking a competitive edge. It is vital that the Faculty becomes a significant global player. How else will we attract the best staff and the best students in the world?

How else will Australian business leaders be adequately equipped – other than by leaving to go overseas?

To stand out on the world stage sets a big challenge for us all. It will require planning, ambition, resourcefulness and a great deal of support. Support from a wide variety of people and in many forms. 2004 will mark the year that the Faculty decided to embark on a major initiative to build this support base. From 2005, this initiative will be a major focus for us and will be a University priority with the full backing of our new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Glyn Davis.

We intend to build much closer ties with the private sector and with our alumni, both at home and overseas.

In 2005 we will communicate our vision and build the case for three strategic programs we regard as vital to our future: – To build a major endowed scholarships program to attract top students from around the world – To fund a major endowed chairs program to attract scholars of international renown to Melbourne (at present the Faculty has no perpetual endowment for funding chairs) – To make a significant capital contribution to the new $90 million Faculty building project (due to open in 2008), enabling the establishment of a world class facility that goes beyond traditional classrooms, encouraging dialogue between business and academia, and providing a learning environment to inspire future business leaders.

We hope that you will find this report on the activities of the Faculty in 2004 and the profile of the academic and administrative staff of interest.

History Economics has been taught at the University of Melbourne since its foundation. W.E. Hearn was appointed as a professor of history and political economy in 1855.The Faculty was established in 1924 with teaching for the Bachelor of Commerce degree commencing on 2 March 1925. The foundation Dean of the Faculty was Professor Sir Douglas Copland who remained a leading figure in Australian economics and politics until his death in 1971. The Faculty’s 500-seat main lecture auditorium is named after him.

The Faculty has always been a pioneer in business education in Australia.

Marketing has been taught since the 1930’s; in 1954 it appointed A.A. Fitzgerald as the first full-time professor of accounting in Australia; the MBA degree was introduced in 1963 (now taught in the Melbourne Business School). More recently, the Faculty has introduced Masters degrees in business and IT, applied finance, international business, applied commerce and accounting.

Pictured above standing left to right: Staff of 1925: Mr G.L. Wood, Mr A.A. Fitzgerald, Mr E.V. Nixon, Mr E.C.W. Kelly. Seated: Mr R.B. Lemmon, Professor D.B. Copland

The student population has changed from an initial intake in 1925 of predominantly part-time students working in commerce in the city of Melbourne to full-time students drawn from Australia and overseas who are amongst the most able of their generation.

Since 1925, over 23,000 students have graduated from the Faculty. Many of these graduates now occupy senior positions in business, government and academia, both within Australia and internationally.

Academic Programs Undergraduate A major change to the Undergraduate program in 2004 was the introduction of the widely-publicised Higher Education Reforms by the Commonwealth Government. The University’s response to the reforms included the following policies: – A 25 per cent increase in tuition fees for the majority of courses – At least 20 per cent (1000 places) of the University’s government-supported undergraduate intake to enter through ‘Access Melbourne’, a program designed to address the academic, social and financial barriers faced by many students who apply to the University of Melbourne – Two hundred Access Melbourne students to receive ‘Melbourne Access Scholarships’ which include Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) and an allowance of $2000 per annum for up to four years – Honours-level study encouraged with the provision of 100 Melbourne Honours Scholarships, also for a HECS-exempt place and a cash benefit of $2000 – A guarantee to Australian fee-paying students, who meet specified academic standards, that they may transfer to a CSP place in their later years

>

– Opportunities for students who seek to undertake combined degrees, who satisfy specific and relevant entry criteria, to enrol in one degree as a CSP and one as an Australian-fee place.

These Reforms had significant impact on the Faculty’s internal and external communication and marketing strategies. Audiences included in the Faculty’s communication and consultation process included internal staff, current students, prospective students, parents and career advisors.

The Faculty’s individual response to the reforms included increased visits to Victorian schools identified as having high numbers of potential Access Melbourne students and on-campus events aimed at providing a value-added experience and access to academic staff, career advice, current students and recent graduates.

The clearly-in entrance score required for the Bachelor of Commerce degree was 94.7 representing the top five per cent of students in the State with comparable levels for interstate and international students. Standards of entry for combined degrees were even more competitive.

Research and Research Training The Faculty continued to perform outstandingly in attracting research income, research publications and in PhD completions during 2004. Six new ARC Discovery Project Grants were awarded with a combined total income of $931,214 over the period of 2005 – 2008. In addition, two new ARC Linkage Project Grants were awarded to staff within the Faculty. A total of 22 doctorate theses were completed and awarded to higher degree by research students. The latest Group of Eight research performance benchmarking analysis shows that the Faculty has retained its top rank in the three key measures – total research income, publications and research higher degree completions.

Of significant note was the successful proposal by Professor Peter Bardsley in obtaining $1.5 million over the next five years under the ARC Research Networks Scheme.

Professor Bardsley’s project titled Economic Design Network: Practical Policy Tools for Industry, Infrastructure, Services and the Environment, is a partnership of more than one hundred researchers and over forty international universities and research centres. The Network will support cross disciplinary research and policy innovation using state of the art techniques in economic theory and experimental economics.

>

It will create practical policy tools that can be used to solve complex social and economic problems in industry economics, health economics and environmental policy. By linking Australian mid and early career researchers into multidisciplinary teams based around the world’s top experimental economics laboratories, it will create a world class economic design capacity in Australia.

The Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research continues to produce a wide range of contract research. For example, Associate Professor Bruce Headey and Professor Mark Wooden head a major research project surveying Australian households as part of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (or HILDA) Survey. HILDA is funded by the Australian Government but managed by the Melbourne Institute and involves a random sample of 8000 households living in private dwellings. The economic progress and well-being of members of these households is being tracked over time through a combination of face-to-face interviews and written questionnaires.

Research Grants Research Grants Awarded for 2004 Professor Peter Bardsley in Economics was successful in an award from a relatively new research program – ARC Research Network Program – $1.5M over the next four years.

The Economic Design Network is a partnership of more than one hundred researchers and over forty international universities and research centres.

The Network will support cross disciplinary research and policy innovation using state of the art techniques in economic theory and experimental economics. It will create practical policy tools that can be used to solve complex social and economic problems in industry economics, health economics and environmental policy. By linking Australian mid and early career researchers into multidisciplinary teams based around the world’s top experimental economics laboratories, it will create a world class economic design capacity in Australia.

The Department of Economics

The Department of Finance

The Department of Economics at the University of Melbourne is the leading Economics department in Australia. It is a large Department – with 43 teaching and research staff. The Department includes the Centre for Actuarial Studies.

The Department of Finance is one of four teaching departments in the Faculty. The Department was formally established in July 2001, although finance subjects had been taught at the University of Melbourne for several years prior.

The Department is committed to achieving the highest standards in research in economics and econometrics: by making contributions to international knowledge that are publishable in leading international journals, and undertaking international quality research on the Australian economy and economic policy issues. There is a strong emphasis within the Department on encouraging a good research culture and promoting collaboration. Major areas of research are: economic theory; econometric theory; microeconomic analysis and policy design; the Australian macro-economy; operation of financial markets; health and well-being; Asian economies and the economics of international trade and development; and economics education.

The Department has grown substantially since its birth, from just over 700 full-time student units in 2002 to approximately 950 units in 2004. There is a strong honours program with intake restricted to around 40 students. A suite of postgraduate programs is offered, ranging from the practitioneroriented Master of Applied Finance and Master of Financial Management to the more specialised Master of Commerce in Finance and PhD with coursework component.

The Department places a high value on its teaching program and the quality of that program. Its objective is to offer excellent teaching in both undergraduate and graduate programs, to offer a set of subjects that meet the requirements of students and are up-to-date with developments in the disciplines of Economics and Econometrics, and to seek to be innovative in methods of teaching. Teaching covers the core areas of microeconomics, macroeconomics and quantitative methods/econometrics, as well as most other specialist areas such as monetary economics, game theory, development economics, environmental economics, and economic history.

There is a long tradition within the Department of providing policy advice and expert opinions to government and private organisations. Members of the Department serve on government inquiries and boards, and undertake work for a wide variety of international agencies.

During 2003 staff from the Department gave a series of lectures for members of the Australasian Institute of Banking and Finance and in 2004 delivered treasury training programs in association with a major consulting firm. In association with the APEC Study Centre, the Department will be conducting training during 2005 for bank regulators and bankers from the APEC region.

Current research interests of department staff span the field of finance and include asset pricing, derivatives, corporate finance, market microstructure, financial institutions, real estate finance and international finance. To support its research activities, the Department has access to a large number of financial databases, including Datastream, Bloomberg and IRESS. The Department hosts a large number of international visiting academics from all over the world. Department staff are involved in continuing education and executive programs and have strong links with practitioners and financial institutions.

Finance hosted more than 20 research seminars in 2004, presented by academics from overseas and interstate as well from within Victoria.

Commerce Alumni Society Report 2004 The purpose of the University of Melbourne Commerce Alumni Society (UMCAS) is to operate as a means for former Commerce students to keep in contact with each other, with the Faculty, and with the wider university community. UMCAS committee members are elected to office for up to three years, and work closely with the Faculty to develop these associations through mailouts, programs and events that are open to all Commerce alumni. A number of events were held over the last twelve months, and further functions are planned this year.

A number of extremely successful events were held in Melbourne during 2004: – Speech given to alumni by Mary Wooldridge, CEO of the Foundation for Young Australians.

Mary spoke about combining personal and community objectives with career success.

The event was sponsored by KPMG – Dinner with guest speaker Hugh Morgan, president of the Business Council of Australia and former CEO of Western Mining Corporation, held in the University’s new Law School building – Reunion lunch in University House for alumni that graduated 45 years ago or more – Barbecue for final year Commerce students, introducing the alumni society to students about to leave the University – Speech given by the State Treasurer, John Brumby, to alumni and final year students on the vision for Victoria’s future. The event was sponsored by Deloitte.

>

Information on developments in the Faculty and news of alumni events are included in the newsletter Alumni News which is mailed by the Faculty twice a year to all Commerce graduates who have elected to receive it.

UMCAS also provides a $2000 scholarship each year to a final year Commerce student through the generous donations of alumni. Congratulations are given to Daniel Snyder, the 2004 scholarship recipient.
