Myron S. Scholes, co-recipient of the 1997 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, will speak on “Financial Innovation in a Chaotic Environment” at 11:30 a.m. April 8 in the Bryan Cave Moot Courtroom of Anheuser-Busch Hall.
Scholes, the Frank E. Buck Professor of Finance Emeritus at Stanford University, authored the “Black-Scholes Options Pricing Model,” which some describe as the economics equivalent of Einstein’s theory of relativity.
Scholes won the Nobel for work on a new method of determining the value of derivatives.
Free and open to the public, the talk is sponsored by the Undergraduate Economics Association. For more information, call 935-8902 or go online to economics.wustl.edu/~uea.
