The Sim Kee Boon Institute will carry out its work in close collaboration with leading thinkers and academics in economics from around the world as well as international organisations and industry experts. The Institute is the latest addition to SMU’s existing stable of 14 Institutes and Centres of Excellence.
The Stevanovich Center advances the understanding of the increasingly complex world of financial markets by integrating mathematics, statistics, and economics. The Center brings together leading academic researchers and financial professionals whose insights from daily experience in the markets can help translate theory into improved practice. This interaction will lead to more sophisticated tools to address challenges that range from analyzing, visualizing, and interpreting massive data sets, to building more accurate, tractable, and robust models to measure, price, and hedge risk.
