  • Overview

    On behalf of the University of Cambridge's Economics Department it is my pleasure to invite you to our two day workshop on Information Externalities, Social Learning and Financial Markets in Cambridge from December 15 to December 16, 2008.

    This two day workshop explores recent developments in social learning and information externalities, with particular attention (though not exclusively) to their impact on financial markets. Papers will span theoretical, empirical and experimental research.

    The workshop is organized in single sessions with 12-14 presentations. Each paper will be allocated 40 minutes. Participants are kindly asked to attend the entire workshop.

    Hamid Sabourian, Cambridge
    Andreas Park, Toronto

  • Accommodation
    • Rooms have been booked with Gonville and Caius College in their brand new Stephen Hawking Building.
    • The building is almost right next to the Economics Department, where the talks take place.
    • The address is West Road (the main college is elsewhere).
    • Further details will be posted soon.
  • Travel
    • European travelers should try to fly to Stansted Airport because it is merely a 25 minute train ride away from Cambridge.
    • North American travelers will likely fly into Heathrow Airport. Cambridge is about 2.5 hours from Heathrow. My advice is to take the Heathrow Express into Paddington (15 minutes), the Tube to Kings Cross (15 minutes) and the Cambridge Cruiser (non-stop train --- don't take the normal one!) to Cambridge (45 minutes). Sounds complicated, but it's quite simple. You can also take a bus to Cambridge from the airport; it takes about the same time.
