The conference aims to bring together rising scholars from finance and economics to discuss these issues from various points of view. Each paper will be assigned to a discussant. The symposium begins with a dinner on Thursday evening, May 2. Travel expenses (economy class) will be refunded. Accommodation will be paid for up to two nights.
Submission:
Authors are invited to electronically submit papers in PDF format (including abstract, authors’ affiliations and contact information) to by Friday January 12, 2024. Please indicate whether you choose to have your paper considered for the dual submission option at the Review of Corporate Finance Studies.
Dual Submission Option: In the submission, authors should indicate if they wish their paper to be considered (at no extra fee) for publication by the Review of Corporate Finance Studies 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 was never submitted. See http://sfs.org/dualsubmissionpolicy/ for details.
