While scientific findings need to be assessed by peers and journal referees, the confidentiality of original data often makes the process arduous. An accredited organization launched by Christophe Pérignon (HEC Paris) and colleagues with access to the original research data can now ensure reproducibility of results.

The Rise of Rankings in Global Governance: How Can They Change the Regulation of Large Corporations?

Ratings and rankings have become powerful tools in global governance, frequently used to motivate companies to be good corporate citizens. A wide range of environmental and social matters such as access to medicine, climate change, obesity and working conditions increasingly transcend national borders and escape the reach of national regulators. For such issues, who should set the rules about the responsibilities of corporations? How can corporations that are by definition designed to generate profit, be guided towards making decisions that benefit society as a whole? Afshin Mehrpouya and Rita Samiolo explore the process behind the production of these rankings.

Price Formation and Volatility: the Role of Dealers and Market Makers

In our recent research published in the Journal of Financial Economics, we analyze price formation in a context in which dealers repeatedly compete for the opportunity to trade with retail traders. We characterize equilibria in which dealers’ pricing strategies are optimal irrespective of the private information that each dealer may possess. We propose a robust model that predicts how the dealers share information and equilibrate the trade.
