This article demonstrates how qualitative research methods can contribute to better understanding of financial markets. At the beginning, the growing importance of financial sector in economy and social life, development of financial markets, and financial research methods are briefly described. Then, examples of qualitative research from three distinguished areas are presented as an illustration of usefulness of qualitative methods in researching on financial markets. These areas are: 1) performativity of economics, 2) researching on financial markets’ organizations, and 3) researching on issues connected with computerization and automation of financial markets. The areas at hand should become object of further explorations by qualitative researchers. The final section also contains examples of practical implications of qualitative research and possible directions of practical use of knowledge which is a product of qualitative studies on financial markets.
