As part of the Foundation's programme of engagement with research institutions, a delegation of researchers visited a centre specialising in economic studies and reviewed its ongoing work documenting newly arising financial instruments.
Topics of the meeting
The meeting covered a number of subjects falling within the interests of both bodies. They were surveyed without entering into their rulings:
- Methods for describing banking transactions precisely before they are studied.
- Instruments for field observation of current financial practice.
- Standards for peer review in interdisciplinary work.
Points of agreement
- Exchange of scholarly publications between the two bodies.
- A joint workshop on the description of financial instruments.
- A standing channel of communication between the two research teams.
Precise description of a transaction precedes any examination of it, and is a scholarly task in its own right.
This is an introductory account of the activity. For further detail see the research and articles page.
