Recent structural and technological evolutions, such as the proliferation of limit order book markets, algorithmic trading or new trading technologies (ECNs, dark pools, MTFs etc…), have dramatically and profoundly changed the nature of securities trading. This evolution raises new questions which are currently at the frontier of research in various fields (financial economics, econometrics and statistics, computer science, econo-physics etc…). The goal of the conference is to gather leading researchers who will discuss and present recent advances in these fields. Topics such as limit order markets, econometrics of high frequency data, optimal trading strategies, short-sales and market design will be covered. The organizers hope that the conference will serve as a catalyst for discussions between researchers and practitioners interested in these questions. The opening speech of the conference will be given by Professor Pete Kyle (University of Maryland) and the closing speech by Professor Lawrence Harris (University of Southern California), two leading researchers in the area of securities markets organization. The conference is sponsored by Capital Fund Management, Deutsche Bank, Research Initiative “Trading and microstructure” sponsored by Credit Agricole Cheuvreux, GIS, BNP Parisbas Ecole Polytechnique and the Institut Louis Bachelier.
