Volatility and Liquidity Workshop, January 22-23, 2026, University of Pavia

 december 22, 2025

In an era defined by rapid, unprecedented disruption—ranging from financial crises to climate change to global pandemics—our socio-economic systems are being reshaped before our eyes. As market participants evolve and adapt, the foundations of econometric modeling shift, creating new challenges and opportunities. 

This workshop brings together world-class experts at the forefront of modeling time-varying parameters, such as volatility and liquidity. We uncover the forces driving these dynamics and explore cutting-edge insights essential for safeguarding and strengthening the resilience of the global financial system.
