FAIRR (Finance and Accounting Insights on Risk and Regulation) Centre's general mission is to offer various stakeholders of SKEMA valuable insights into regulatory and corporate changes for finance and accounting. It is dedicated to promoting top-level research and best practices in corporate finance, market finance and accounting.

Research themes

Research activities at FAIRR encompass the following research themes:

  • Governance and regulation
  • Digital and entrepreneurial finance
  • Accounting and disclosure
  • Financial intermediation
  • Corporate restructuring

These activities have led to publications in top-ranked journals in finance, accounting, management, economics and entrepreneurial finance (including American Economic Review, Economic Journal, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Journal of Business Venturing, Journal of Corporate Finance, Journal of Economic Theory, Journal of Finance, Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis, Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Financial Intermediation, Quarterly Journal of Economics, Review of Finance and Review of Financial Studies).

SKEMA's Fintech Initiative

Four FAIRR researchers: Armin Schwienbacher, Fabio Bertoni, Bastien Buchwalter, and Engin Iyidogan have put in place SKEMA's Fintech Initiative, which aims at deepening our understanding of the new opportunities and challenges that arise with digital transformation: new financing methods for startups, blockchain technology and entrepreneurial opportunities. It builds on the fact that the recent technological developments have led to a series of transformative innovations in the area of financial services. This digitalisation of financial services entails both risk and opportunity, not only for the financial sector but also for the society as whole. The FinTech Initiative aims to better understand the impact and reach of this digital transformation.


International Corporate Governance

The second topic on International Corporate Governance is led by Florencio Lopez de Silanes. His academic and applied work has dealt broadly with the analysis of what governance structures are appropriate for what economies and firms, what makes for good laws and regulations. Today, several researchers at FAIRR work in related areas, leading to a critical mass of research output in international corporate governance.
