In early March, our colleagues Andreas Ernsting and Paul Hark participated in the Finance/Accounting Research Workshop at Bielefeld University. During the workshop, both presented their current research projects. Paul presented his paper "The 52-Week High and Corporate Announcement Returns", while Andreas presented "The Digital Euro and Refinancing Costs", which is joint work with Paul.

The workshop provided valuable feedback and stimulating discussions on both projects. Many thanks to Peter Limbach for the organization of this event.
