In recent decades, many overarching global events have caused dramatic volatility in the financial markets, including climate change and more intense and more frequent extreme weather events, geopolitics, the evolution of the COVID-19 and SARS viruses to pandemic levels and later socioeconomic recovery processes.
The continued dramatic growth of digital technologies and fintech developments have and will continue to play a major factor in long-term growth. The Center for Computational Finance and Economic Systems (CoFES) is dedicated to the advancement of quantitative finance and economic systems and their ultimate impact on society. Using and developing modern computational, statistical and mathematical techniques for modeling complex problems, we strive to deliver world-class research, expand education and advance public knowledge.
