CALL FOR PAPERS


           THE 2009 FINANCIAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION MEETING


             http://www.FinancialResearchAssociation.org


                      December 12 and 13, 2009
                         Las Vegas, Nevada



     The program committee of the Financial Research Association
     seeks new finance papers of general interest to the
     profession. We specifically seek new papers that do not
     have a "revise-resubmit" journal decision and have not been
     presented or scheduled to be presented at the Western
     Finance Association meeting or the American Finance
     Association meeting. The selection process is very
     competitive. Last year's acceptance rate was under 3.8
     percent. All papers will be presented by a discussant,
     after which the authors will have an opportunity to
     respond.



     MICHAEL J. BARCLAY AWARD:


     The association will present the Michael J. Barclay Award
     to the Ph.D. student who submits the best solo-authored
     paper. This student will receive reimbursed airfare (up to
     $400), hotel, and registration.



     PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:


     Paper submissions should be emailed in PDF to:


     Email:         MAILTO:FRA@bc.edu


     by August 31. The email must contain the following
     information: the names, affiliations, and email addresses
     of all co-authors, a list of the conferences at which the
     paper has been presented, and whether or not the submitting
     author is a Ph.D. student and would like to be considered
     for the Ph.D. student paper award.



     FURTHER INFORMATION:


     You will be notified of paper selection in the beginning of
     October. Once the program is set, the program committee
     will invite a limited number of participants to register
     for the meetings.


     The conference fee of $300 covers conference costs,
     including the Sunday dinner and a Saturday wine tasting.
