How Do Firms Choose Whether Or Not To Participate In A New Derivatives Market?

Virtual conference
8 March 2023, 10.00-12.00 EST

Join the Rowan Center for Responsible Leadership as we discuss practical issues with listing exchange-traded or OTC futures contracts on recyclable materials such as plastic, aluminum, and cardboard. Hear from leading industry experts and academic researchers as we explore issues facing the design and operation of a market for connecting buyers and sellers of recyclable materials. We will also discuss the factors shaping firms' decisions to participate in a new derivatives market -- after all, there is no market without the participants!
