Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration We ask how brokerage commissions affect trading activity. Estimating this causal effect is difficult because commissions are typically endogenous to the market. We turn to the pre-1976 era, when the New York Stock Exchange set and repeatedly revised minimum commission schedules, with commission rates a deterministic function of a stock’s price. This institutional feature delivers two complementary identification strategies. First, we exploit discontinuities in the price-based commission schedule in a regression kink design: higher commission rates raise trading volume, with a 1% increase in commissions increasing volume by approximately between 0.15% and 0.40%. Second, we exploit discrete changes in the schedule in a difference-in-differences design around rule revisions: trading volume declines in advance of new commission rules and then increases by 0.11-0.14% upon implementation. Both designs point to economically meaningful increases in trading activity, concentrated in more volatile stocks. We rationaliz… Subtitle: Brokerage Commissions and Trading Volume: Lessons from the 20th Century. Speaker Details: Associate Professor Rawley Z.

Operations Management Research Seminar

Area Administration The use of large language models (LLMs) has grown rapidly over the past few years, especially in health care, where documentation burden remains a persistent problem for practicing clinicians. However, despite the deployment of many ambient scribes for documentation, it is still unclear how LLMs impact those who work with them. Across two preregistered studies, we examine how this shift—from writing documentation to editing an LLM-generated draft—impacts workers. We study this “first draft problem”: eliminating the blank page does not remove the work of documentation but relocates it into revising and editing. In Study 1, an online experiment with 16 clinicians producing documentation following a teletherapy patient encounter, we establish the puzzle: counter to our hypotheses, editing an LLM-generated draft of the documentation as opposed to writing it from scratch does not result in time savings or quality improvements on average. Instead, while some clinicians experience no time savings but large improveme… Subtitle: The First Draft Problem: Productivity, Quality, and Physiological Strain in LLM-Assisted Writing.

SMU MAF Hybrid Masterclass: Can Carbon Markets Save the World?

MAF Infosessions Can Carbon Markets Save the World? High Finance, Geopolitics, and the Trillion-Dollar Race to Price the Planet Can markets help solve the climate crisis? As governments, corporations, and investors race towards net-zero commitments, carbon markets have emerged as one of the most powerful and debated tools in the global decarbonisation agenda. From compliance carbon markets and Article 6 international carbon trading to voluntary carbon credits and corporate climate claims, billions of dollars are flowing into efforts to put a price on carbon. But are carbon markets genuinely accelerating climate action, or are they simply shifting emissions on paper? Join us for an engaging session with Wilson Tan, sustainability finance practitioner, climate-tech entrepreneur, and lecturer at SMU and NTU, as he unpacks the evolving world of carbon markets, the role of finance in driving decarbonisation, and the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of sustainable investing and climate innovation.

Finance Research Seminar

Area Administration Most foreign exchange transactions route through the U.S. dollar, even when the parties want to exchange two other currencies. Vehicle routing concentrates volume in dollar markets and lowers their trading costs, but a cross-currency trade pays fees and price impact on two dollar legs, while a dedicated pool for cross-currencies may attract too little volume to be economical. We ask whether a single liquidity pool containing the dollar and multiple non-dollar currencies can lower aggregate trading costs. The pool designer chooses the capital weights across currencies and the fee on each pair. With competitive liquidity provision and aggregate fee revenue set optimally, the weights determine aggregate trading costs and each pair’s price impact; the division of fees across pairs determines how those costs are shared by traders. We characterize the optimal cost of a pool and derive a closed-form condition under which it improves on vehicle routing. The condition combines return correlations and the composition o… Subtitle: Dethroning the Dollar? Optimal Multi-Asset Market Making.
