NEWS


Prof. Martin Brown spoke at the FinanceMission press conference on May 25, 2016, about financial education of young people. The association FinanceMission is promoting financial literacy among children and is supported by the umbrella organization of Teachers Switzerland (LCH), the French-speaking Teachers Union (SER), and the 24 cantonal banks. The association has developed the digital learning game "FinanceMission Heroes". "FinanceMission Heroes" and the accompanying didactic material form innovative learning facilities for teaching at Swiss schools. Professor Brown is a board member of the association FinanceMission.

Prof. Dr. Markus Schmid was granted a Grundlagenforschungsfonds (GFF) Research Grant for Project "The Effect of Public Opinion and Peer Pressure on Corporate Board Structure".

Celine Kharma and Melk Bucher have received SNF mobility grants to visit the U.S. next year (University of Maryland and Columbia University, respectively).

Farshid Abdi has been granted a SNF supplementary grant in the Sinergia Project "Empirics of Financial Stability", for a visiting scholarship at New York University, Stern School of Business from August 15, 2016 to May 15, 2017.

Selected Working Paper:
Experience and brokerage in asset markets: Evidence from art auctions. B. Bruno, E. García-Appendini and G. Nocero.
We analyze whether more experienced brokers achieve better performance as information providers. We focus on the art market, a market with severe illiquidity and acute information asymmetry problems where auction houses act as brokers between art sellers and buyers, and we measure experience as the number of times an auctioneer has auctioned the artworks of a certain artist in a given location. We find that more experienced auction houses brokers (i) are more likely to achieve a sale and (ii) provide more accurate predictions of the prices ultimately fetched at auctions through their pre-sale estimates. These findings suggest that experience plays an important role for brokers to reduce illiquidity and opacity in markets with asymmetric information. The results are consistent with theories that suggest that brokers develop special skills in interpreting subtle signals related to the deals.

EXECUTIVE EDUCATION

"Fit for Finance" consists of a series of lectures and workshops aiming at practitioners wanting to refresh their knowledge on financial topics. The lectures give participants a summary of basic concepts of financing and findings in current research.
