An assortment of sandwiches, salads, and drinks will be provided.
A number of episodes of financial market distress have at the heart of them a sudden and drastic reduction in market liquidity, characterized by disorderly adjustments in asset prices, a sharp increase in the costs of executing transactions and, in the most acute cases, a “seizing up” of markets. What to do? Part of the problem of liquidity is its abstract nature. In the following Q&A session, we'll discuss hedges, metrics and strategies for liquidity.
