[edit] Who we are
Capital Market Wiki is a non-profit, collaborative project, sponsored by the Center for Capital Flow Analysis to promote the teaching of open source financial research techniques at the university level. Our goal is to foster stable economic development by creating a free encyclopedia of world capital markets. We wish to encourage open source financial intelligence techniques. We want to provide investors with unbiased, clear factual information and answers to fundamental questions about securities, laws, accounting practices, capital market institutions, investment theory, and operational techniques in all markets and in multiple languages.
[edit] Educational resources
This wiki provides tools for teaching open-source research through collaborative assignment templates, associated with a formal Capital Market Taxonomy, and built-in article formats. The system incorporates a job opportunity network that provides students with expanded opportunities on graduation, based on the quality of their contributions. The encyclopedia is driven by a semantic database and formal knowledge structure.
University professors are invited to join as academic patrons. Areas of interest include finance, economics, business, financial math, law, accounting, government, and language. The wiki is international, encouraging articles in all languages on capital markets in all countries.
Assignment templates allow for:
- Semester project assignments in a single discipline and classroom;
- Multi-discipline project assignments, between classrooms teaching different subjects, such as law, accounting, and finance;
- Cross-institutional project assignments, with professors in different universities and even different countries.
[edit] Economic basis
Capital Market Wiki is a free, non-profit encyclopedia that does not contain advertising. However, academic patrons may offer consulting services through a non-obtrusive system linked to the subject of each encyclopedia article. There are further economic advantages for academic patrons and students.
