Financial Economists Roundtable

The Financial Economists Roundtable (FER) is a group of senior financial economists who have made significant contributions to the finance literature and seek to apply their knowledge to current policy debates. FER members meet annually to discuss policy issues concerning investments, corporate finance, financial institutions and markets, both in the U.S. and internationally. The statements they adopt are intended to increase the awareness and understanding of public policy makers, the financial economics profession, the communications media, and the general public. For more information on the Financial Economists Roundtable please see Financial Economists Roundtable.
