Trading, Liquidity, and Market Structure 2023 | Zicklin Baruch / Baruch College | 20 October 2023 | Wasserman Trading Floor, Subotnick Center, 151 East 25th Street, New York, NY 10010, USA

The objective of this seminar is twofold: (a) to call attention to how education concerning trading, liquidity and market structure topics can be integrated into business school programs, and (b) to enhance the dialogue between industry professionals and academics. In industry, trading is recognized as a professional activity; in academia, it typically is not. Students today can complete their business school courses without knowing about trading costs, liquidity, the complexities of price discovery, and the realities of market structure, and they can graduate clueless about what it takes for professional investors to implement investment decisions in real world, illiquid marketplaces. This knowledge is important, not only for people at trading desks, but also for portfolio managers, corporate executives, regulators, and technology developers.
