Description:
The Society for Financial Studies is hosting the ninth annual Review of
Corporate Finance Studies Winter Conference on February 14 and 15, 2026,
starting with a welcome reception on Friday, February 13th, in the evening
and ending after lunch on Sunday, February 15th. This will be a
high-quality conference with a limited number of papers. Our aim is to
bring together a select group of top-quality researchers to present and
discuss cutting-edge papers in the field. We welcome submissions in all
areas of corporate finance, financial intermediation, and household
finance.
The sessions will be arranged by the RCFS Editors (Anthony Cookson, Isil
Erel, Michelle Lowry, and Robert Marquez) and Associate Editors. We welcome
both empirical and theoretical papers in corporate finance, financial
intermediation, and household finance.
Royal Sonesta San Juan is a family-friendly, luxurious oceanfront resort on
Isla Verde, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, with excellent beaches and many
leisure-time activities. It is located very close to the Luis Munoz Marin
International Airport (about a 10-minute drive). Old San Juan is just 6
miles away from the resort.
New this year: 
We are introducing the RCFS Best Conference Paper and Best Discussant
Awards ($1000 each). Awardees will be decided by the conference
participants’ votes.
Special Session on “Global and Emerging Markets in Finance”
We plan to have a special session at the conference on the theme of
“Global and Emerging Markets in Finance.” At this stage, we are calling
for Registered Reports on subjects related to this specific theme as it can
be applied in the areas of corporate finance, household finance, and
financial intermediation. Examples of Registered Reports that were
successful in prior years, and subsequently entered in the formal review
process, can be found in the Registered Reports Repository. After the
conference, a small set of selected proposals will be granted in-principle
acceptance for publication in the RCFS after a formal review process.
A prize of $5,000 will be awarded to the paper that, in the opinion of the
RCFS’s Editorial Board, makes the biggest contribution to the literature.
Submission: 
Please note there are different deadlines for regular papers and for
Registered Reports. Late submissions will not be allowed.
Regular papers: November 18, 2025 (11:59:59pm PDT)Registered Reports on
“Global and Emerging Markets in Finance”: December 1, 2025 (11:59:59pm
PDT) 
Please submit your paper or Registered Report using this link
[https://www.conftool.com/rcfs-winterconference-2026/]. A submitted paper
must not have been accepted (or conditionally accepted) at a journal. The
submission fee is US $90 per submission.
Dual Submission: 
For regular papers, the RCFS Winter Conference features optional dual
submission to The Review of Corporate Finance Studies. Authors should
indicate if they wish their paper to be considered (at no extra fee) for
publication by RCFS under the Dual Submission Program. This is a
“no-fault” submission option: if the RCFS reviews the paper and rejects
it, the authors may submit it to any SFS journal at a later date as if it
had never been submitted. See https://sfs.org/dualsubmissionpolicy/ for
details.
