Description:
The goal of this special FTG conference, hosted by Boston College, 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 broader initiative
undertaken by the FTG 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.
​​​​​​​Papers that are primarily theoretical (empirical) will
be discussed by empirically (theoretically) oriented researchers. The
conference will also feature a panel discussion on integrating theory and
empirical research in finance with the following panelists: Itay Goldstein
(University of Pennsylvania), Gregor Matvos (Northwestern University),
Adriano Rampini (Duke University), and Toni Whited (University of
Michigan). The panel will be moderated by Vincent Glode (University of
Pennsylvania). The conference will start at  about 3pm on June 14 and
conclude at about 4pm on June 15. The paper presenters are expected to
attend all sessions of the conference.
Submission:
Interested authors should submit papers in pdf format by February 1 2024.
Decisions will be made, and the conference program will be announced in
mid-March 2024. There is no submission fee.
