8th MoFiR Workshop on Banking

After seven successful workshops in Ancona (2012, 2013, 2014, 2018), Kobe (2015), Chicago (2016) and London (2017) the Money and Finance Research Group (MoFiR), together with the Center for Financial Services (DePaul University) and the Department of Finance at the Driehaus College of Business, DePaul University, are pleased to announce the next workshop will be held in Chicago, IL, USA, on June 10-11, 2019.

The organizing committee of this small informal workshop invites submissions of high-quality theoretical and empirical research on financial intermediation. Scholars in the fields of banking and finance will meet to discuss current issues in banking, financial stability, and financial regulation, focusing on policy reforms for a stable global financial environment. The workshop will provide an opportunity for presentations and discussions about policy-relevant research in an informal and highly interactive environment.

The keynote speaker will be Luigi Zingales (Chicago Booth School of Business).
Travel costs (airfare) for presenters and invited discussants will be reimbursed for an amount up to USD 500 for domestic travelers and USD 1,500 for overseas travelers. There is no conference fee, and all meals are included, but participants must cover their own accommodation costs.

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Submissions (full papers accepted only) should be emailed to mofir@univpm.it by January 11, 2019. In the subject header please add “Submission MoFiR 2019”. In the case of multiple-authored papers, please indicate who will present.

Papers will be selected by the program committee and corresponding authors will be notified of acceptance by April 1, 2019. Given capacity constraints and to promote an active discussion, preference will be given to authors who can attend the whole workshop.
