CfP Deadline:
October 1, 2024
Conference Event:
February 27- March 1, 2024
Event Location:
Melbourne, Australia
Organizer(s):
Department of Finance in the Faculty of Business and Economics at The University of Melbourne
Description:
We invite submissions that embody the best in current empirical and theoretical research. We welcome papers in asset pricing, corporate finance and all other areas of finance. The general academic sessions will be comprised of papers from all areas. The conference selection committee includes eminent scholars in every facet of finance. With the help of the selection committee, we strive to provide a conference program that is internationally renowned for excellent presentations, discussions, and keynote speeches.
A unique feature of the program is that we honour ‘vintage’ research that has inspired recent advances and withstood the test of time. In 2025, we will celebrate the body of work by Professor Lasse Heje Pedersen of Copenhagen Business School given its impact in academia, industry and among regulators. We are honoured to have Professor Pedersen and Professor Nicolae Garleanu of Washington University in Saint Louis as our keynote speakers.
This year’s conference will feature a session on gender finance, sponsored by the Gender Lab, a research center at Melbourne University’s Faculty of Business and Economics specializing in gender economics and finance. Papers for this session will be considered as part of the general call for papers. For more details, please contact Marina Gertsberg (mgertsberg@unimelb.edu.au).
In addition to the academic sessions, attendees can participate in a half-day tour of the local wine country following the Saturday morning session as well as a conference wine and food reception.
