Housed within the Economic Department at UC Santa Cruz, the Center for Analytical Finance brings together researchers to push the frontiers of financial knowledge through education and research. Your gift provides support for practitioners who are empowering consumers in financial decision-making by funding research that improves access to financial markets and services.
We aim not just to identify problems in the globalized financial system, but provide insight on how to fix these critical issues. Our work covers three core areas: systemic risk, market design, and financial access. Each of these areas ground our research in real-world scenarios for people, institutions, businesses, communities, and countries.
Donations help us to bring in experts who can engage on these topics, including those who drive interdisciplinary research outside of finance. Gifts also help provide supplementary funding to our events, which helps us continue to demystify finance to broader audiences.
