Center for Financial Frictions
Past Practitioner Seminars
Practitioner Seminars
FRIC Practitioner Seminars featured practitioners from financial institutions, central banks, regulatory authorities, asset management firms and other central players in the finance industry. Occasionally, the seminar also featured academics speaking on current issues faced by the industry.
The purpose of the seminars were to help finance researchers understand the institutional setting of financial markets, and to keep up with financial innovation and changes in the regulatory environment.
Arguably, it was the failure to understand the plumbing of the financial system rather than a lack of theoretical tools that prevented most academics from seeing the financial crisis coming. The Practitioner Seminars series aimed to fill this gap.
Ultimately, the FRIC Practitioner Seminars should stimulate new research into the role of financial frictions that will help answering concrete and pressing questions in financial markets.
