The Swiss National Bank will host the 16th Annual Central Bank Conference on the Microstructure of Financial Markets on November 2-3, 2020. This annual central bank workshop invites researchers, policy-makers and practitioners to discuss theoretical work, empirical findings and policy implications related to the microstructure of financial markets. Financial market microstructure may influence, and be affected by, central banks’ policies. Papers addressing the interaction between policy design and financial markets would be particularly welcomed.
