The Second Workshop - New Approaches to Modelling Financial Transactions
The Network’s second workshop took place in London in February 2000. All teams were represented at the workshop, and in addition to presenting papers, the participants took the opportunity to discuss the progress of the research agenda, administrative matters and the future research programme. The workshop brought together participants to discuss new and diverse aspects of modelling financial aspects. The presentations encompassed themes including geography, option pricing, learning and time inconsistent preferences with approaches spanning from the theoretical to the experimental and the empirical.
The Third Workshop
The Network’s third workshop took place in Manresa, Barcelona, in September 2000. All teams were represented at the workshop, and in addition to presenting papers, the participants took the opportunity to discuss the progress of the research agenda, administrative matters and the future research programme. The workshop brought together participants to discuss theoretical, empirical and experimental issues on corporate finance, banking, market microstructure, and asset pricing.
Final conference The Firm and Its Stakeholders: The Evolving Role of Corporate Finance
Meetings that the Network has contributed to and that its members have attended
Many members of the Network met at the European Summer Symposium in Financial Economics in July 1998. This symposium, considered to be the pre-eminent European financial economics meeting, was attended by around 80 economists. The purpose of the Summer Symposium is to bring together researchers in finance for an extended period of time. Some time was set aside for seminars in which participants present their work, but a substantial amount was reserved for independent work and collaborative research with other participants. In addition, four mornings were devoted to ‘focus sessions’ on the following themes: Credit Risk (organized by Kenneth Singleton (Stanford University)); Price Discovery and Market Design (organized by Bruno Biais (Université des Sciences Sociales de Toulouse and CEPR)); Asset Management and Asset Pricing (organized by Lars Tyge Nielsen (INSEAD, Fontainebleau, and CEPR)); Internal Capital Markets (organized by Jeremy Stein (Sloan School of Management, MIT)). Network members also met at the European Summer Symposium in Economic Theory in late June 1998. Papers were presented by Network participants such as Xavier Vives (‘Information Aggregation, Strategic Behaviour, and Efficiency’) and Antoine Faure-Grimaud (‘A Theory of Supervision with Endogenous Transactions Costs’, co-written with Jean-Jacques Laffont and David Martimort, both members of the IDEI team).
