Experiments in Financial Technology

A virtual seminar series featuring cutting-edge experimental research in digital markets.

About the Seminar

This virtual seminar series is dedicated to experimental academic research in digital markets, broadly construed. Our goal is to bring together researchers from finance, economics, psychology, and computer science who use experimental methods — including lab experiments, field experiments, or randomized controlled trials — to study questions at the intersection of technology and finance.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • The impact of financial technology on investor behavior
  • Experiments in market microstructure
  • Experiments in decentralized finance
