| Information Frictions in Macroeconomics and Finance Recent events have highlighted the central role imperfect information plays in financial markets and the economy. This one-day conference, hosted by NYU's Salomon Center explores recent innovations in modeling and measuring information in economic and financial markets. A morning session explores settings where people with different pieces of information all attempt to forecast the beliefs and the forecasts of others. A lunch talk by Laura Veldkamp focuses on the problem of information choice: In a world of information overload, what do and should we pay most attention to? In an afternoon session, speakers explore themes such as the uncertainty about others’ risk exposure (such as banks’ exposure to mortgage default risk), the rate at which new information disseminates through a market, and the link between stock prices and volatilities. |

| Volatility and Systemic Risk Conference The focus of the conference is to understand both economically and statistically the dramatic movements in volatilities and correlations experienced in global financial markets since Sept 2008. Some of these financial market risks we now know were systemic and the conference will showcase new research on both statistical and economic measures of systemic risk. Such measures are potentially important inputs to the new regulatory environment. The conference will emphasize academic, regulatory and practitioner points of view. |

| The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine The era that defined the City and Wall Street may finally be over. Michael Lewis first exposed its greed and carnage in the international bestseller Liar's Poker. With the fires of the world's greatest financial meltdown still smouldering, Lewis returns to his old haunts to figure out what went so very wrong in his darkly humorous new account. The Big Short is a visceral tour to the heart of the money-making machine, traces the origins of the crisis and is a razor-sharp analysis of a new cast of compulsively fascinating characters that saw the whole thing coming, or actively drove our economy overboard. |
