Research & Innovation

Advancing Financial Education Through Research

Research and innovation are at the center of our approach to financial education. Led by Mario DiFiore, PhD, Senior Assistant Dean at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business and Advisory Board Member of the New York Financial Educators Council, The Academy of Finance® conducts research to better understand financial and investment literacy, investor behavior, and how the next generation learns about financial markets.

Preparing for the Professional World
