Economics of Financial Markets

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, ‘Economics of Financial Markets’, broadly addresses the topic of how a financial market can be designed/operated to optimally allocate wealth to its participants. It is open for the submission of any novel theoretical or empirical research connected to applied and practical applications in the field; papers exploring the emerging issues of financial markets (and their impacts) that demand immediate attention from both practitioners and regulators are particularly welcome.

Examples include (but are not limited to):

• The increasingly influential role of Stakeholder Theory (e.g., ESG investing, CSR, and others).
• The shift towards non-fundamentalism among younger participants in the financial markets (e.g., the popularity of cryptocurrency and technical analysis).
• The efficiency and issues of important financial markets in emerging economies that warrant research but are relatively less studied in the mainstream literature, such as India and others.
• The more active role of individual investors in the digital age.
