2018 Corporate Finance Theory Symposium
Call for Papers - Closing 25 February 2018

14-15 September 2018, Cambridge UK

The Cambridge Endowment for Research in Finance (http://www.cerf.cam.ac.uk) welcomes submissions for its 2018 Corporate Finance Theory Symposium to be held in Cambridge UK, Cambridge Judge Business School, 14-15 September 2018.

TOPICS: The symposium covers all areas of theoretical corporate finance, including theory papers that combine corporate finance theory with a related area such as banking, market micro-structure, asset pricing, and financial accounting.

The format of the 2017 symposium will be similar in nature to previous years' editions (http://www.cerf.cam.ac.uk). We expect to have about 9 papers (each with a discussant) and one keynote speech. This year's keynote speaker will be Peter DeMarzo, Stanford University.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Please submit your paper (in pdf format) via the link on the CERF website: http://www.cerf.cam.ac.uk/cerf-events/CERF%20Conferences/symposium-september-2018-submit-papers-online

The symposium is organized in collaboration with the Journal of Corporate Finance. Papers submitted to the symposium can opt to have their paper considered by the Journal of Corporate Finance under the dual submission review process (see for details: http://www.cerf.cam.ac.uk/cerf-events/CERF%20Conferences/dual-submission-rules-2018/view). Decisions on acceptance of a paper to the symposium do not depend on whether a paper has also been entered for the dual submission review process.

Please read carefully Further Information and Requirements before submitting your paper: http://www.cerf.cam.ac.uk/cerf-events/CERF%20Conferences/further-information-and-requirements-call-for-papers-2018/view
