The Trans-Atlantic Finance Institute (TAFI) was established to promote and stimulate academic research in international finance and encourage interaction between the scholarly communities in Europe and the United States. Jointly founded in 2003 by Fordham University School of Business and RSM Erasmus University in The Netherlands, its aim is to provide a platform for leading researchers from both sides of the Atlantic to study, discuss, and cooperate on topics in the field of international finance. TAFI supports research on a wide variety of issues, including the behavior of exchange rates, the market microstructure of international financial markets, international risk and portfolio management, and international financial integration.

TAFI hosts an ongoing series of conferences on specific research themes in international finance and routinely cooperates with The Frank J. Petrilli Center for Research in International Finance (CRIF) at Fordham University and the Journal of International Money and Finance, which is the No. 1 specialized journal in the areas of international monetary economics and international finance.
