New paper out! Before algorithms and quants dominated finance, the UK gilt-edged market was being built through struggles over expertise, calculation, and the “right” way to value government debt, from actuaries to financial economists. Check it out: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

My new paper is out in Finance and Society! I argue that QE is performative via the ontological shaping of financial markets, moulding them away from dysfunctionality and towards efficiency, driven by epistemic models. Check it out! doi.org/10.1017/fas.2024.25

How does a technocratic entity craft an intervention when faced with governance limits? Using the case of the Bank of England, Cassar argues that internal expert struggles and frontstage relations with audiences shape possibilities. #SER @OxfordJournals bit.ly/48p8lDW

Very happy to see this chapter, co-authored with @BondoHansen, available online. Will be of interest to anyone interested in how machine learning is transforming the cultures of financial modelling and bringing about a closer alignment with Big Tech. academic.oup.com/edited-volu…

I suggest we need to pay more attention to internal expert struggles during periods when governance frameworks are tested, how economists exercise agency including by framing techniques, and the interactions between frontstage and backstage practices of an organisation. (9/10)

An enjoyable experience @ the ECW workshop @SASE_Meeting. Lots of excellent feedback and papers! Looking forward to the rest of the conference.
Bruno Latour, reminding us that if there is one academic domain that should come under scrutiny, it's not post colonial studies but biochemistry - 'one of the disciplines most corrupted/captured by business' - together with economics
