Research Day 2017
The NYU Stern School has the largest and, by some measures, the most active Finance faculty of any university in the world. One of the most popular offerings of the NASDAQ Derivatives Research Project is the annual Research Day conference, where our active Finance faculty provide quick looks at some of their most interesting current projects. This year we welcome four new professors in Finance, three "rookies" and a seasoned full professor, who will be speaking in the first sessions.
There are quite a number of new programs and research initiatives at Stern this year, including a new specialization in FinTech and the Salomon Center's programs in Household Finance and Insurance. The first afternoon session will feature brief introductions to these exciting initiatives
Attendance is free of charge. Please RSVP to salomon@stern.nyu.edu
