Conference on technology and securities trading

The Swedish House of Finance (formerly the Institute for Financial Research) organizes an annual conference on a theme in financial economics. This year's theme is technology and securities trading. The conference is based on a dialog between academic economists and representatives from the financial industry. We intend to highlight how the industry can adapt to new technologies, market structures, and regulations, such as blockchain technology for securities trading and clearing, electronic trading based on artificial intelligence, competition between trading venues, exchange trading for bonds and derivative products, and MiFID II.
