2018 Capital Markets Conference
Call For Papers

Hosted by: Smurfit Business School, University College Dublin

23-25 May 2018, Dunboyne Castle, Ireland

The Editors are delighted to announce that the 2018 JBFA Capital Markets Conference will be hosted by University College Dublin. The Conference will be held at the Dunboyne Castle Hotel. We are grateful to the KPMG Foundation and Wiley-Blackwell for their continued sponsorship of this annual event.

TOPICS: We invite submissions of original papers addressing research questions with capital market implications and related to one or more of the following areas: financial reporting, corporate disclosure, corporate finance and corporate governance.

We encourage submissions of research aiming to exploit differences in economic systems, legal institutions and regulatory frameworks as determinants of accounting, finance and governance outcomes. We are also open to theoretical papers that have clear predictions motivating new empirical tests and/or explanations of existing empirical regularities. We are also interested in considering comprehensive and critical surveys of international research in our areas of interest.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Original papers should be submitted at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jbfa no later than 30 November 2017. Submissions to the conference will be treated as submissions to JBFA, and should not be under review at any other journal. All papers will be refereed and decisions on accepted papers should be conveyed to authors by the middle of March 2018. Papers accepted for the conference will not only satisfy the normal quality standards required by the journal, but also will be expected to stimulate interesting discussion at the conference. Subject to satisfactory revision, accepted conference papers will be published in a special Conference Issue of JBFA in 2019.

CONFERENCE DETAILS: Conference attendance is by invitation only. The Conference will start in the evening of 23 May 2017 with an Early Bird reception. Hotel accommodation for the nights of 23-24 May will be provided for one author of each selected conference paper. All conference participants will be responsible for making their own travel arrangements.
