OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Individuals have been manipulating wholesale financial markets since at least the time of the Napoleonic War. The law courts are cluttered with repeated examples of abuse, which successive attempts to legislate and regulate have failed to stem. At the same time, the cost of these abuses, both to market participants, and to firms operating in markets, have been very high. Why do these problems keep recurring? And do they have broader implications for economic activity? If traditional approaches have manifestly failed, what new approaches could be tried and why might they succeed? This seminar will discuss what the FICC Markets Standards Board is attempting to do, what challenges it faces, and why it should succeed?
