CERF Alumni Society

The CERF Alumni Society (CERFAS) is a research community of former CERF post-doctoral researchers, and a representative of the current CERF post-docs. CERFAS was founded in 2021 by Mehrshad Motahari. CERFAS is run by an executive committee that meets several times per year and organizes events and activities for its members.

CERFAS aims to foster and advance research in finance, financial institutions, and financial markets, and their relationship with the economy. CERFAS promotes research that advances financial policy and practice, addresses real-world challenges and delivers long-term welfare gains to society.

In 2022, CERFAS launched its Best Paper Award, open to all former CERF-funded researchers and students.
