Dr Kokkinis' research interests include corporate governance, bank corporate governance, and financial regulation. His monograph Corporate Law and Financial Instability (Routledge, 2017) critiques the corporate law framework for UK banks from a prudential regulatory perspective and argues for the need to reform banks' corporate objective to prioritise the financial sustainability of the entity. More recently, he published two articles on the Journal of Corporate Law Studies, the first on the bonus cap on bank managers' variable remuneration, and the second on employee participation in corporate governance, as well as an article on the Journal of Financial Regulation that examines the challenges posed by non-performing loans from a corporate governance perspective.
