Luke Deer
Luke Deer is a freelance researcher, writer and speaker on financial technology, with a focus on developments in China and Australia.
Luke contributes to Executive Education on these topics at the The University of Sydney Business School, where he also teaches in the Finance Discipline on international banking and bank supervision.
Luke’s recent projects include an Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) grant-funded research project with Mike Beggs which explores a ‘Money View’ analysis of the dynamics between financial innovation and central banking in the recent history of China’s financial system.
The results have recently been published as a book by Palgrave Pivot on Remaking Monetary Policy in China – Markets and Controls, 1998–2008.
Previously Luke was the research director for the first Asia-Pacific China Alternative Finance Benchmarking Report published in March 2016.
