Dr. Frederique Bracoud is a Senior Lecturer and Higher Education Academy (HEA) Fellow in the School of Economics at the University of Queensland, where she has served since October 2006. She obtained her PhD from Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix in Namur, Belgium, and her MSc from Université Catholique de Louvain in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. As a theoretical banking microeconomist trained in France and Belgium, her research specializes in the economics of banking, particularly the modeling of competition and contract design in asymmetric information environments. Key research areas include money supply endogeneity, optimal bank deposit contracts, auctions applied to central banking, banking competition models, and asymmetric information-induced credit rationing by banks. Since 2012, her interests have increasingly focused on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, with emphasis on financial literacy among university students and incentive mechanisms for enhancing students' commitment to learning.

Prior appointments include Lecturer in the Department of Economics at Keele University, United Kingdom (September 2000 to August 2006), and Lecturer in the Department of Economics and Accounting at the University of Liverpool, United Kingdom (September 1998 to August 2000), following her role as Teaching and Research Assistant at Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix (October 1989 to December 1997). Notable publications are "Double Bertrand Competition among Intermediaries when Consumers can Default" (2007, The Economics Bulletin, Vol. 4), and "Equity or Debt? Contracts in Markets with Asymmetric Information" with B. Hillier (2000, The Manchester School, Vol. 68, No. 1, pp. 1-22), alongside working papers "Sequential Models of Bertrand Competition for Deposits and Loans under Asymmetric Information" (2002, Keele Economic Research Paper KERP 2002/15) and "On Monetary Implications of Credit Rationing under Asymmetric Information" (2000, Keele Economic Research Paper KERP 2000/10). In 2016, she was awarded by the School of Economics for encouraging students from Economics, Arts, and Business to acquire finance proficiency through original learning approaches. She coordinates courses such as ECON1200 Money and Mind and ECON2040 Macroeconomic Policy.
