Biography
Professor Fisher was appointed Professor of Economics at Macquarie University in February, 2008. Previously he was with the Department of Economics at the University of New South Wales for twenty years. He has held visiting appointments at several universities, including Virginia Tech, Yonsei, the Australian National University and the University of Melbourne. He has also been a visiting fellow at the Reserve Bank of Australia. Lance's principal area is macroeconomics and macroeconomic modelling. Prof. Fisher has investigated identification methods in structural macroeconomic models. He has applied these methods to the study of consumption and wealth in Australia and the United States and to the study of business cycles more generally. He has estimated predictive models for government expenditure and asset returns. His work on asset return predictability forms the basis for his current research with Professor Geoffrey Kingston on managing superannuation in later life.
