The network promotes cross-disciplinary research on finance, focusing on topics such as the social embeddedness of finance, historic origins of modern financial instruments, regional differences in financial markets, indebtedness and inequality. Prof. Pellandini-Simányi’s appointment to the network follows her research on the social and cultural influences on everyday financial decisions, on institutions’ financial predictions and on the emergence of new financial markets.
