Financial Econometrics Research Centre

The Financial Econometrics Research Centre (FERC) provides a focus for research in empirical finance and is a forum for the transfer of ideas between practitioners within the City of London and academics. It has a steering committee made up of both practitioners and academics, including two Nobel Laureates.

FERC is a recognised centre for research excellence within Europe and provides a co-ordinating role for financial econometrics within UK. It forms part of the Warwick Finance Research Institute. It involves faculty and students from the University of Warwick community, and incorporates researchers from outside the University including a number of ex-academics currently working in the financial markets.

The Centre also generates first class research in empirical finance; both in the development of statistical methods of financial econometrics and in their application to financial markets.

FERC runs regular training courses and workshops, publishes a well established working paper series, and holds specifically designed conferences.
