Dear students,



See the info for the Political Economy Project’s next public event of Spring term (and note the evening time):



John Welborn (Economics), A Short History of Short Selling



What is short selling, and why does it matter? While stock market volumes have expanded greatly in the last 50 years, the internal plumbing of the market is roughly the same as in the 1970s. As a result, short selling scandals arise that frustrate retail investors and policy makers (e.g., Gamestop). Professor Welborn joins us to explain how regulations that govern short selling and trade settlement balance liquidity and accountability but sometimes ignore the interests of retail investors and issuers.
