The Conference Organising Committee is proud to announce that several papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in The Financial Review (FR). These papers will undergo a blind review process. This is a ‘no-fault’ submission option, meaning if the FR decides to review and then reject the paper, the author(s) may resubmit it through the normal submission process. Please note that submitted papers must not be under review in any other journals. The submission fee is USD 175. Selected papers may receive financial support from the Conference to cover this fee. In addition, FR and the Eastern Finance Association (EFA) have also agreed to sponsor our best paper award in support of the conference. As a unique arrangement with FR and EFA with the Conference Organising Committee, a submission fee waiver of up to 3 submissions will be granted.
