On November 7, MS in Risk Management Academic Director Ingo Walter and Nobel Laureate and NYU Stern Professor Robert Engle discussed Professor Engle’s research with the NYU Stern Volatility Laboratory (V-Lab) and the global outlook of his measures.
 
Professor Engle spoke about recent market volatility, the results of European banking stress tests and volatility in the Chinese economy.  He noted that the Volatility Institute is in the process of opening a second location in China. “The idea is to create a global research community,” he said, through technology platforms such as the V-Lab.
