Alumni Discussion Club event with Tālis Putniņš: The Frontier of Financial Crimes in Markets

SSE Riga's Rector, Anders Paalzow, invites all graduates to an on-site Alumni Discussion Club event featuring Tālis Putniņš. The discussion will focus on the topic 'The Frontier of Financial Crimes in Markets.'

“For centuries, criminals have used technology to gain an edge over authorities. We are currently witnessing a boom in the use of FinTech for crime—what I call CrimTech. What are the new forms of misconduct and crime in markets? How are these schemes conducted, and what can we do about it?”

Tālis Putniņš, affiliated with the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga, the Baltic International Centre for Economic Policy Studies, and the University of Technology Sydney, specializes in financial markets, market microstructure, manipulation, insider trading, asset pricing, and shadow economies. His research, published in top-tier journals, includes the Review of Financial Studies and Journal of Financial Economics. Serving as an Associate Editor of the Baltic Journal of Economics, Tālis has also contributed to policy work, consulting for governments, stock exchanges, and financial institutions. He holds a Ph.D. in financial economics from the University of Sydney

Event for SSE Riga Alumni only, registration is required.
