Affiliated faculty and collaborators have played a central role in the development, implementation and management of CoFES’ programs in education and research. As we are a multidisciplinary center, affiliated faculty and collaborators have shared their valuable expertise and methodologies as they have advised our students and worked to enhance our programs.
Over the decades, their wide-ranging contributions have expanded our research and shaped our curriculum. Results of their work have been presented at workshops, short courses and the center’s flagship conference – the Eubank Conference on Real World Markets.
