Discussion papers are authored primarily by FMG staff, associates and research students and provide specialist insights into cutting edge financial markets research currently being carried out at the FMG. Research published in the discussion paper series typically goes on to final publication in the top economics and finance journals. Feedback from the FMG community plays an important role in shaping those final publications.
