History
In 1998, Princeton University established the Bendheim Center for Finance to encourage interdisciplinary research in finance from a quantitative or mathematical perspective. The Center's research activities focus on the study of financial markets and asset prices, financial structure of firms, commercial banks and other financial intermediaries, and linkages between financial economics and such fields as engineering, operations research, mathematics, computer science, psychology and public policy. "Proponents of the program cited similar 'professionally-oriented mathematical and computational finance programs' at University of California, Berkeley, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, Columbia University, the University of Chicago and other peer institutions." Ben Bernanke is credited as the founder of the center.
The Center celebrated its tenth anniversary with a conference and lecture by Bernanke in September 2010.
