CALL FOR PAPERS
RISK THEORY SOCIETY ANNUAL SEMINAR
April 16-18, 2010
University of Georgia
Athens, Georgia, USA
Submissions due December 15, 2009
The Risk Theory Society is a group of theoretical and
applied researchers in the areas of risk management,
insurance economics, financial economics related to
insurance markets, actuarial science, and more generally in
the economic analysis of risk and uncertainty. Membership
in the Society is earned by presenting a paper at the
annual seminar and forfeited by missing two consecutive
meetings.
PAPER SUBMISSIONS:
The society invites interested parties to submit papers for
the 2010 meeting. Each paper accepted for the meeting is
given one hour and fifteen minutes for presentation and
defense by the authors. The first twenty minutes of that
time are reserved to be free of interruption other than for
questions of clarification. After the grace period,
discussion is typically vigorous.
In recent years the number of submissions ranged from 32 to
60 with an average of 48. Ten papers were selected each
year. Although we accept submission of a five-page
abstract, most submissions and most accepted papers were in
full draft or essentially completed form.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:
Submissions are due on December 15, 2009. The program
committee will notify authors of accepted papers by January
18, 2010, or soon thereafter. Accepted papers must be
completed and sent for posting on the Risk Theory Society
web page by March 16th, 2010. Financial support for travel
(North American portion only) for one author per paper is
sometimes available.
Submissions should be e-mailed as attachments in the Adobe
Portable Document Format (PDF) by December 15, 2009, to:
