Abstract: Big data is revolutionizing the finance industry and has the potential to shape future practices in finance significantly. As the Wall Street Journal writes: “Today, the ultimate Wall Street status symbol is a trading floor comprising Carnegie Mellon Ph. D.s, not Wharton M.B.A.s.” (Rogow, G., “Meet the New Kings of Wall Street,” Wall Street Journal, May 21, 2017). The big data revolution creates many opportunities for collaboration between OR/Financial Engineering and finance researchers. As a researcher in the finance community, I would like to discuss several topics that may benefit from collaboration with the OR/Financial Engineering community, such as high-frequency trading, algorithmic trading, quantitative investing, and the pricing strategies of electronic platforms.
