ICF RESEARCH INITIATIVES
Behavioral Finance
Behavioral Finance is one of the most exciting and controversial areas of
research in Economics. It focuses on the psychology and behavior of individual
economic agents, and explores the implications for asset pricing, regulation
and management.
China
The Yale SOM initiative on capital markets, institutions and governance in China is
a program to study the history and current issues of market development, and
to disseminate ideas for further economic and institutional reforms in China.

Corporate Finance
This Yale ICF research initiative is a program that actively studies a range
of issues related to corporate finance from corporate governance and corporate
control to investment banking and global issues.
Corporate Governance
The Millstein Center for Corporate Governance and Performance at the Yale School of Management is designed to be the leading research, teaching and
policy center focused on the institutional framework for corporate governance,
and the principles and practices of effective corporate governance. The Millstein Center
will help meet the needs of practitioners in the private and public sector
who face the challenge of reforming corporate governance frameworks and practices
in a borderless world, by promoting innovation, and the exchange of ideas
and experience.
Hedge Funds
The Yale ICF hedge fund research initiative is a program to actively investigate
hedge funds as an asset class and the range of issues related to their management.
Financial History
The goal of the collection is to identify securities that
represent important innovations in financial markets. Many of the pieces in
the exhibit represent a new method of raising capital, or a special event
or period in capital market history. While interesting historically, the stories
they tell are never-the-less pertinent to the global markets of today. Each
piece in the collection is, in effect, a contract between a company or country
and an investor. The design of these contracts were in some cases remarkably
creative and some of the securities had a lasting impact -- not only on world
finance, but on global politics.

Home Equity Protection Project
Home Equity Protection (HEP) is an innovative product that makes it safer
for people to invest in a home. It guarantees homeowners that if the housing
market declines in the area where they live, they will be protected for part
or all of that loss. By providing this protection, HEP also helps to attract
and retain homeowners in neighborhoods where there is a concern that property
values might go down.
Real Estate
The Yale ICF real estate research initiative is a program that actively
investigates residential real estate as an asset class and the range of issues
related to their management. The current research agenda includes: Home Equity
Protection project, Property Valuation, Risk Analysis, Securitization.
