Dr. Benjamin Clapham and Dr. Jens Lausen are co-authors of the first crowd-based empirical study in finance, which has just been accepted for publication in the prestigious Journal of Finance. The project involved over 164 researcher teams, among them some of the world-leading scholars in this field. The task of the research teams was to test identical hypotheses on the same data set. Due to the large number of decisions researchers have to make in the evidence-generating process, the results of the research teams vary significantly and thus generate another level of uncertainty in addition to statistical errors. The paper entitled "Non-Standard Errors" shows that these errors are significant, but are reduced by adding peer review phases. Non-standard errors are lower for more reproducible and better rated research. The study also finds that the participating scientists underestimate this type of additional uncertainty.

The renowned “Journal of Financial Markets” (see: doi.org/10.1016/j.finmar.2023.100816) has published the paper “Spoilt for choice: Determinants of market shares in fragmented equity markets” by the research team Peter Gomber, Satchit Sagade, Erik Theissen, Moritz Christian Weber, and Christian Westheide. The authors analyze the determinants of trading volumes of different trading mechanisms in equity markets and find that market shares are driven by the degree of immediacy and anonymity offered by the venues, their ability to offer off-tick executions, as well as the informational environment and conditions in the market.
