- Risk sharing between employees and the firm
- Role of firms in explaining broad labor market trends
- Effects of human capital and worker mobility on financial policy and governance

BEST DISCUSSANT AND BEST PAPER AWARDS: Each paper will be assigned to a discussant. Two awards will be given out, one for best paper, and one for best discussion ($2500 each). Awards are based on anonymous votes of the participants at the end of the final session and will be announced at lunch on Saturday.

FULL PARTICIPATION: As we highly value active audience participation, all participants are expected to stay during the entire conference. It has been the norm at past Mitsui symposiums and is encouraged again this year. The symposium begins with a reception on Thursday evening, June 7, and ends with lunch on Saturday June 9, 2018.
