This category is aimed at sites of scholars, academics, students, professionals and any other person or institution generating and divulging research in the field of Financial Economics.
Financial Economics is a continuously evolving field, and so will this category. We intend to host sites offering working papers, published papers, data sources, research links and bibliography related to the more traditional areas of Asset Pricing, Theoretical and Empirical Corporate Finance, Financial Econometrics, Market Microstructure, Continuous Time Finance, Fixed Income, International Finance, Banking, and Markets and Institutions. We will also look forward to sites related to the new frontiers of Finance such as Behavioral Finance, Venture Capital, Currency Microstructure, etc.
Submit ONLY sites pertaining to the academic study of financial economics. Consulting firms, development agencies, banks, and financial services are NOT appropriate topics for this category and will not be accepted. Personal home pages of scholars should be submitted to the appropriate subcategory of Science/Social_Sciences/Economics/Economists/.
Currency and Money addresses facts, background and theories about money and prices. Money is taken for granted by most of us. In this directory the objective is to gather resources which help researchers and students understand where money gets its value from, what mechanisms are used to control its value, and what sort of things affect policy and behaviour concerning monetary systems - both past and present. Various currency and money systems are covered, including older commodity based systems - i.e. those strongly related to silver and gold prices - modern central bank managed systems, 'fiat' money systems, reserve banking etc.
Submit here to contribute articles and information about monetary theory, practice and history. Well suited sites will expect visitors to be essay-writers, historians, economics students etc. Sites with well written documented histories of currency systems are very much favoured as are those with data on historical monetary commodity data (e.g. gold prices and charts).
