Center for Analytical Finance (CAFIN)

Our Work Together

The Center for Analytical Finance (CAFIN) is a group of researchers whose aim is to solve real-world problems of finance in a globalized financial system. In order to do so, CAFIN seeks to produce cutting edge research with practical applications in the area of finance and financial markets focusing primarily on three critical areas:

• Systemic Risk: the idea that risks can build up in the financial system leading the whole economy to collapse.

• Market Design: the construction and implementation of rules, platforms, and institutions in which assets are traded.

• Financial Access: the availability of quality financial services for households, companies and countries.
