Several young researchers from the Financial Markets Department of the Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE have presented their work at internationally renowned conferences or have been invited to do so.
Matteo Bagnara and Ruggero Jappelli presented their paper “Liquidity Derivatives” at the Financial Markets and Corporate Governance Conference (FMCG 2022) at Monash Business School in Australia in April 2022 and at the Stern/Salomon Microstructure Conference at New York University's Stern School of Business in May 2022. In their paper, the researchers focus on market liquidity risks of investors and contracts to hedge against uncertainties in future transaction costs.
