BBS: Finance
The Finance BBS is a forum where finance researchers in Berlin have the opportunity to present their work in progress. It is a joint initiative by the finance groups of ESMT, Humboldt University and DIW (Deutsches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung). Guests from other international institutions have also had the opportunity to present their work in this forum.
This is primarily an internal event. However, if you should be interested in attending a specific talk, then it is necessary to register for that presentation by contacting Faculty Assistance.
- Time frame: typically every two weeks, on Fridays, starting at 12:30 at ESMT.
