Gerald D. Gay--Professor and Chairman of Finance
Gerald Gay joined the faculty of Georgia State University in 1980. His expertise is in the areas of investments, derivative markets and financial risk management. He has published over fifty articles in leading academic and professional journals, including the Journal of Financial Economics, Journal of Finance, Journal of Business, Journal of Futures Markets and the Journal of Derivatives. From 1990 to 1993 he served as both the chief economist of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in Washington, D.C. and as the Director of its Division of Economic Analysis. While at the CFTC, he spearheaded several initiatives that brought important regulatory relief to and increased the international competitiveness of U.S. derivative markets. Of note was his role in the preparation of the CFTC's Part 34 Rules liberalizing hybrid instruments, the Part 35 Rules providing legal certainty to swaps, and the CFTC's 1993 Order providing exemptive relief to energy related contracts. In 1992 he served as the CFTC's liaison to the White House in support of the President's Regulatory Reform Initiative. His current research and professional interests center on the valuation and use of derivative instruments and the regulation of derivative markets. He serves as a frequent advisor and provider of executive training to corporations and the legal profession. Away from the office he enjoys fishing and hunting, is an avid follower of sports including Florida Gator football, and likes to watch his kids compete in triathlons, baseball, and fastpitch softball.
