OUR MISSION
The International Center for Finance at the Yale School of Management provides active
support for research in financial economics by its fellows and disseminates their work to the world's academic and
professional communities.
The Center's fellowship is comprised of leading scholars in and outside of the Yale
School of Management who work on key empirical and theoretical problems in financial economics.
The Center provides a physical locus for their activities consistent with the belief
that financial research is by its nature a collaborative venture.
To that end, the Center offers data, technology, and staff support for empirical research
and underwrites academic conferences that bring together distinguished researchers to cooperatively develop ideas.
In addition, the Center provides summer research support and funding for visiting fellows
and travel support for doctoral student fellows.
The ICF's working paper series is available both on-line and in print.
CENTER ACTIVITIES
Center fellows produce leading-edge research in key areas of finance, including asset
pricing, corporate finance, investment management, market microstructure, behavioral finance, fixed income and derivatives,
international financial markets, law and finance, and the history of financial markets.
Our special programs include finance conferences at which the world's leading scholars
present their current research.
Past conferences have focused on the evolution of the capital markets, developments in
market microstructure, behavioral finance, and advances in derivatives and fixed income research.
Our distinguished visitor series has featured policymakers such as Sir Leon Brittan and
Secretary of the Treasury Lawrence Summers, as well as such noted investors as George Soros.
The Center's summer visiting fellow program provides offices and computer facilities for
off-term visitors.
A year-round weekly seminar series on new research in financial economics is open to the
Yale community and provides a forum for interdisciplinary discussion.
CENTER ASSETS
The International Center for Finance is housed in an historic mansion on Hillhouse Avenue
adjacent to the Yale School of Management, the Yale Economics Department, and the Yale Center for International and Area
Studies.
It maintains a first-class laboratory for empirical research, including state-of-the-art
computer facilities and databases and a working paper archive and finance journal library.
In addition to the directors, the staff includes a center administrator, a database
manager and computer system administrator, a webmaster, and two programmers.
The Center provides spacious offices for fifteen research fellows and temporary offices
for summer fellows and adjunct professors.
Yale University is firmly committed to providing both substantial annual funding for
research and assistance in raising future endowment funds to secure the Center's continued growth.
