Research Description

Richard Lyons works on exchange rates, but from a "micro" perspective rather than the traditional "macro" perspective. The micro approach uses data on transactions in currency markets to address how this market absorbs new information. It is both "information theoretic" and quite applied in that it addresses the phenomenon (price determination) at its source. His most recent work in this area is on stable coins, which are cryptocurrencies pegged to other currencies like the US dollar or hard assets like gold. He is also writing more now on innovation and how cultures of innovation can be developed in companies and in geographic regions.

UC Berkeley appoints first chief innovation and entrepreneurship officer

Big Think
Mike Colagrossi
Business professor Richard Lyons, former dean of Berkeley's Haas School of Business, has been appointed Berkeley's first chief innovation and entrepreneurship officer. "The CIEO role has two parts: to be an evangelist for Berkeley entrepreneurship to the outside world of the Bay area, National, and International Innovation Ecosystem, and to work on advancing our campus culture for entrepreneurship and innovation," says Randy Katz, Berkeley's vice chancellor for research. Professor Lyons says: "One of the fun things is ... the role is yet to be designed and created. There are a lot of degrees of freedom to put the priorities where we feel they should be. I know the institution very well and can marshal the resources and people around the vision to get things done." For more on this, see our story at Berkeley News.
