Research Day 2010

The NYU Stern School has the largest and, by some measures, the most active Finance faculty of any university in the world. One of our most popular regular offerings for DRP Sponsors, Salomon Center Associates, and all of our friends in academics and on the Street is the annual Research Day conference. Research Day this year will be held Friday, March 26. Research Day is our chance to provide quick looks at some of the most interesting research projects that are currently in progress among our active Finance research faculty.

Here's a link to the DRP website: DRP Events which has links to the programs for Research Days in 2008 and 2009, along with our other events. A (very successful!) grand experiment in 2008 was to video the whole Research Day proceedings. You can check out those videos on the website, as well
