Dr Abimbola's research focuses on key areas in finance, including derivatives and risk management, corporate financing, and market behaviour. His expertise is reflected in publications in journals such as the Journal of Business Finance and Accounting and Applied Financial Economics. He has contributed to understanding financial leverage and the use of interest rate derivatives by UK firms. His work bridges theoretical finance with practical applications in corporate financial decision-making.
The two most recent publications reflect a strong trend in empirical corporate finance, particularly in the UK context. His research examines how firms manage financial risk through derivatives and how capital structure decisions are influenced by debt usage. These works fall within the broader disciplines of corporate finance and financial economics, with specific emphasis on risk mitigation strategies and capital market behaviour.
Dr Abimbola has served in significant academic leadership roles, including as Director of the MSc Accounting and Finance programme (2000–2003) and founding Director of the MSc Investments programme (2003–2006). He is also an External Examiner for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at other UK universities, demonstrating his active engagement in academic governance and quality assurance. There is no mention of specific research grants, but his sustained publication record indicates ongoing scholarly activity.
He contributes to the academic community through his research supervision and programme leadership. While specific names of students are not listed, his roles suggest involvement in mentoring postgraduate students, particularly in finance-related master's programmes. He is also associated with research in corporate finance and financial markets, likely supervising projects in risk management and investment strategies.
