Research Day 2016
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 academia 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 projects that are currently under way among our active Finance research faculty.
Along with presentations of research work in progress, we will continue the very popular Senior Faculty Panel Discussion. In previous years, the panel reviewed the general economic outlook for the world economy. This year the discussion will focus on the major capital investment that will be needed immediately and in the future to maintain and to expand our national infrastructure, and how this investment can be financed. The panelists have been working over the past year on a monograph that explores the many dimensions of this extremely important topic.
Attendance is by invitation only. Please RSVP to salomon@stern.nyu.edu
