Conference and Seminar Organisation

This event is a quarterly, online event that focuses on finance and economics research on issues related to sustainability, climate change, corporate social responsibility, environmental protection, and social welfare and growth. In every event, we invite a world-renowned keynote speaker to share his/her cutting-edge research with participants, and gather 4-6 presentations from scholars in Asia and all over the world. 

This event is co-organised by Po-Hsuan Hsu at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Elvira Sojli and Wing Wah Tham from UNSW Sydney, and Hao Liang and Hong Zhang from the Singapore Management University. This event started as the NTHU Symposium on Sustainable Finance and Economics (online) hosted by Po-Hsuan Hsu in 2022.

Financial market microstructure is changing rapidly, and the emergence of new technologies is becoming of intense interest to market participants and regulators. Digital financial technologies are rapidly reshaping businesses and the financial services industry. This edition will focus on digital technology and its effects of financial markets: digital exchanges, assets, and currencies.   

The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) in cooperation with the Financial Research Network (FIRN) and the Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre (DFCRC) hosted the 17th Central Bank Conference on the Microstructure of Financial Markets on 8-9 December, 2022. This was a dual-submission conference with the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA).  Keynote speakers were Itay Goldstein, University of Pennsylvania and Wei Xiong, Princeton University.
