New Financial Markets and
Instruments
Advances in technology, changing economic conditions,
public policy pressures, and developments in financial
knowledge are leading to the creation of new markets
and instruments for the pricing and trading of risks,
as well as new techniques for the delivery and economic
and financial services. The Melbourne Centre aims
to encourage academic research which has both public
policy and commercial aspects and, in doing so,
generate both high quality academic publications
and commercial benefits. It is also an area identified
by the Victorian Government as one with potential
for further development in Melbourne.
