The AMF presents its 2016 young researcher award in economics
The AMF launched the Young Researcher Award in 2015 with the aim of supporting academic research on topics related to regulation and the financial markets. This year the award is being presented to two researchers: Denisa-Georgiana Banulescu, senior lecturer at Université d'Orléans, and Guillaume Vuillemey, assistant professor of Finance at HEC.
The Autorité des marchés financiers has this year decided to present its Young Researcher Award to two researchers: Denisa-Georgiana Banulescu, whose research notably addresses the measurement of systemic risk and volatility modelling tools, and Guillaume Vuillemey, whose work focuses on the derivatives markets and central clearing.
The AMF Young Researcher Award, worth €3,000, acknowledges and seeks to encourage the work of researchers aged under 30 on economic and financial topics of interest to the securities regulator.
