Capital Markets

The Capital Markets Research Cluster is dedicated to unraveling the complexities of financial intermediation, emphasizing its impact on sustainable well-being, innovation, and entrepreneurship. We scrutinize both traditional and non-traditional financial institutions, examining their competitive strategies and systemic importance for financial stability. Our focus extends to regulated financial markets, with particular attention to the banking sector, private capital, and debt, analyzing investment strategies to provide valuable insights. Committed to informing decisions and policies, our research contributes to a nuanced understanding of capital market dynamics, bridging academia and practical applications.
