valuation models

will be treated as submissions to the Journal of Business
Finance and Accounting, and should not be under review with
any other journal. All papers will be refereed and
decisions on accepted papers will be notified to authors in
mid-March 2010. Subject to satisfactory revision, accepted
conference papers will be published in a Special Issue of

publication in JBFA, but not for presentation at the
conference.
