Hosted by Dean Erika James as part of the Tarnopol Dean's Lecture Series, this event – which originally streamed live on the Wharton LinkedIn page – explored how data is influencing critical decision-making in the field of finance.

Whether it’s using machine learning to inform investment banking practices or algorithms to detect white collar crime, analytics is shaping finance in new and nuanced ways. How will the financial landscape evolve with these trends, and what obstacles—and opportunities—should we expect?

Panelists included:
• Michael Roberts, William H. Lawrence Professor and Professor of Finance, The Wharton School
