The goal of this special FTG conference, hosted by Columbia Business School, is to bridge theory and empirical research in finance by bringing together theorists and empirical researchers working on corporate finance, financial intermediation, and financial markets. It is part of a new initiative undertaken by the FTG (https://financetheory.org/) to foster closer ties and interactions between theoretical and empirical finance research. The conference welcomes submissions of theoretical papers that provide empirically testable hypotheses, empirical papers that are guided by theory, as well as papers that integrate theory models and empirical tests. The conference welcomes papers broadly related to corporate finance, corporate governance and control, financial intermediation, agency and delegation, information and securities, and financial markets.
The conference will feature a panel discussion on integrating theory and empirical research in finance with the following panelists: Peter DeMarzo (Stanford), Itay Goldstein (Wharton), John Graham (Duke), Michael Roberts (Wharton), Amit Seru (Stanford), and Toni Whited (Michigan). Papers that are primarily theoretical (empirical) will be discussed by empirically (theoretically) oriented researchers.
