The Paradox between 'Long' and 'Measurement'
Mar 26, 2014
Gresham College
The Long Finance Spring Conference 2014 Panel Discussion: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-paradox-between-%E2%80%98long%E2%80%99-and-%E2%80%98measurement%E2%80%99
The Panel discusses the talks fromthe conference, as well as the implications that they might have on the Financial Services Industry. The panel also takes questions from the audience, and engage in spirited debates. The Panel is Charied by Alderman Professor Michael Mainelli.
Moving away from short-term performance measurement is regularly advocated in finance. However, 'long' does not necessarily mean 'good'. Most theorists believe that the first step towards governance, control and management, whether scientific or commercial or political, is measurement. If we adopt 'long' does that mean we need to drop 'measurement'? If we adopt 'measurement', are we excising the long term? This event will explore suggestions for reforms of long-term measures in finance
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-paradox-between-%E2%80%98long%E2%80%99-and-%E2%80%98measurement%E2%80%99
