Organizer(s):
Finance Theory Group (FTG) and Finance Division, Columbia Business School
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.
