2018 Northeastern University Finance Conference
Call For Papers

18-19 May, 2018, Boston, MA

Following the success of the past three such conferences, the Faculty in the Finance Group of the Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business are pleased to invite submissions from all areas of finance to be considered for presentation at the 2018 Northeastern University Finance Conference. The conference will be held at the D'Amore-McKim School of Business and will start at noon on Friday the 18th of May and end by 5 pm on Saturday the 19th of May. There will be a Conference Reception in the evening of Friday the 18th.

We encourage both theoretical and empirical contributions and seek papers that have not been previously presented at other conference. As in our previous conference programs, we typically select for presentation papers written by those who are at an early stage of their career and then choose more senior researchers as discussants. The final program will consist of around eight papers. Please see the programs for the previous conferences at http://www.damore-mckim.northeastern.edu/faculty-and-research/academic-groups/finance/finance-conference

As in the past, for paper presenters and discussants we will pay for (i) domestic economy airfare up to $500; (ii) up to two nights stay at the Conference hotel; and (iii) Conference meals and the Conference reception.

The deadline for submissions is December 15, 2017. We will notify authors of accepted papers by end-January, 2018.

INTERESTED PARTICIPANTS: If you wish to attend the conference, but are neither a paper presenter nor a discussant, please email the organizers Rajesh Aggarwal or Jayant Kale. We will accommodate as many such requests as possible, but the space is limited.
