GGS-Jahrestagung 2013 "Communication in Capital Markets"

24. - 25. Oktober 2013
 

The functioning of financial markets is to a significant degree a matter of communication. This applies both to their economic and their social dimensions. Communicating with financial markets has become increasingly important for firms, investors and policymakers. Moreover, the channels of information dissemination and transmission are continuously evolving. At the same time, financial processes, which tend to become ever more specialized, technicized and opaque, are being made subject to public communication, interpretation, and critique. The issue of financial communication, thus, represents a meeting ground for academic research in economics, business studies and the social sciences. The conference “Communication in Capital Markets,” organized at the newly founded Giessen Graduate Centre for Social Sciences, Business, Economics and Law (GGS), brings together doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers from sociology, finance, economics, and accounting with scholars and practitioners in finance and media communication.
