To improve its connection with Colorado's growing investment community, the CU-Boulder Leeds School of Business has appointed Michael Stutzer as finance professor and director of the school's Burridge Center for Securities Analysis and Valuation.
"Colorado is becoming an emerging center for investments," said Steven Manaster, dean of the Leeds School. "Our goal is to more closely align our school with the region's securities industry. Michael's appointment will help that effort."
Stutzer served as a senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. He also held appointments as finance professor at the University of Minnesota and the University of Iowa. His research addresses asset pricing and individual portfolio choice.
The mission of the Richard M. Burridge Center for Securities Analysis and Valuation is to encourage and support the creation and dissemination of new knowledge about world financial markets, with an emphasis on the U.S. financial markets. The center holds an annual investment conference and links the financial activities of the Leeds School with the investment community.
