The 2020 Marleau Signature Lecture will be delivered by renowned economist and distinguished university professor Andrew W. Lo.
Can the actions of central banks limit the economic impact of COVID-19? Are financial markets predicting a global recession? Volatility spikes continue to plague financial markets during this pandemic, and things may get worse before they get better—but they WILL get better. Until then, it is going to be a very challenging set of market conditions for investors and regulators over the next few months, so we need be prepared.
In this talk, Prof. Lo will use the framework of the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis to address the changing global economy since the outbreak of the coronavirus, its impact on global financial markets, and what stakeholders need to watch for in the coming months and years.
WHO: Andrew W. Lo is the Charles E. and Susan T. Harris Professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, the director of MIT’s Laboratory for Financial Engineering, a principal investigator at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, and an external professor at the Santa Fe Institute.
