                           CALL FOR PAPERS

          THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA'S TWELFTH ANNUAL
                            TAX SYMPOSIUM

                     Chapel Hill, North Carolina,
                        January 23 & 24, 2009


      The University of North Carolina is organizing its twelfth
      annual symposium designed to bring together leading tax
      scholars from economics, accounting, finance, law,
      political science, and related fields. The symposium will
      be held in Chapel Hill on Friday afternoon and Saturday
      morning, January 23 & 24, 2009, and will be sponsored by
      the KPMG Foundation and the UNC Tax Center. The goal is to
      bring together scholars from different areas who share a
      common interest in current tax research. Previous
      conferences have been very successful, and we anticipate
      the same this year.


      PAPER DETAILS:

      Papers should be well developed, but at a stage where they
      can still benefit from the group's discussion. The
      symposium will include no more than six papers. Travel and
      lodging expenses for presenters will be reimbursed up to
      $500.
