Expertise
Professor Nyborg focuses on the role of money, liquidity, and central bank policies in financial markets and the economy. His recent work addresses issues such as how central bank collateral policy affects the yield curve, how stock liquidity affects corporate cash holdings, how repo and unsecured rates are linked, and how monetary conditions affect stock returns. His work suggests that since the financial crisis, we have been in a vicious cycle of increasingly accommodative monetary policies, which is proving challenging to break. Professor Nyborg actively participates in SFI Knowledge Exchange activities on central banks, financial markets, and financial valuation.
