Monash alumnus Frank Milne has been appointed to the prestigious position of special adviser of the Bank of Canada, Canada's equivalent of the Reserve Bank of Australia.

Professor Milne completed a BA and MA in economics at Monash and currently works in the Department of Economics at Queen's University in Ontario.

Announcing the appointment, the Bank of Canada said the position of special adviser had been created to bring additional perspectives to monetary policy discussions.

"Professor Milne will examine issues related to the recent turbulence in global financial markets," the Bank of Canada said.

"His current areas of research include asset and derivative pricing, theory of the firm and management control mechanisms, non-standard preferences, and theory and public policy issues dealing with banking and financial intermediation."

Professor Milne has authored a book, published papers and book reviews in many journals, and participated in numerous policy conference presentations. He has been a member of the editorial board of Mathematical Finance since 1991.
