The Centre Universitaire Lausannois en Finance has hosted the first Asset Pricing Workshop.

With the goal to increase the interaction among PhD students from the three centers of the Swiss Finance Institute who are interested in theoretical and empirical Asset Pricing, EPFL and UNIL have hosted the first workshop in Asset Pricing on September 16.

The Event welcomed 25 participants from Lausanne, Zurich and Lugano. The workshop offered a platform to PhD students to present their research in front of leading researchers from Carnegie Mellon, INSEAD, London School of Economics and Swiss Finance Institute. The Workshop, that offered to participants lively and stimulating discussion on cutting-edge topics in finance such as Asset Pricing puzzle, information percolation in financial markets, investor heterogeneity and stock market volatility, anomalies of derivative pricing, macroeconomic uncertainty and asset valuation, and predictability of stock returns, was a full success.
