Research Day 2012
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 NASDAQ DRP and Volatility Institute Sponsors, Salomon Center Associates, and all of our friends in academics and on the Street is the annual Research Day conference. 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.
A new Research Day feature we are adding this year is a panel discussion on the current state of the world economy and financial system. The recent, and ongoing, economic turmoil has led many of the faculty to turn our attention to policy-oriented research. Several senior faculty members will share their perspectives on where we are now and where we are headed.
Date:
February 3, 2012, 9:00 - 5:30 P.M.
Registration:
Attendance is by invitation only. Please RSVP to Salomon Center (salomon@stern.nyu.edu, 212-998-0700)
