Penn State has formed a new, interdisciplinary research center to study the strength and security of the global financial system. The Center for the Study of Global Financial Stability seeks to build academic, government and industry partnerships to engage in joint research efforts that will develop a better understanding of the complexity of the global financial markets and help improve international financial stability. The main objective of the center is to contribute to the understanding of the global financial system and identify new approaches to use data to monitor the global financial system and enhance its stability, ultimately leading to improved financial regulation, better-informed policy decisions, and industry-led, market-driven stability initiatives.
