UBC Winter Finance Conference
Call For Papers

March 2 - March 4, 2018, Fairmont Chateau Whistler Resort, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

The finance group at the University of British Columbia's Sauder School of Business invites you to submit papers to be considered for presentation at the "UBC Winter Finance Conference 2018."

We encourage submission of papers on topics of general interest to the finance profession. Special consideration will be given to papers that do not have a "revise-resubmit" journal decision and have not been presented or scheduled for presentation at major conferences.

The submission deadline is Saturday, November 18, 2017 and we will notify you of the Program Committee's decision by mid-January 2018. There is a CAD $60 submission fee. Submit papers at https://webforms.sauder.ubc.ca/finance-conference-papers

The conference is in collaboration with The Review of Asset Pricing Studies (RAPS) and The Review of Corporate Finance Studies (RCFS). Papers submitted to the conference can opt to participate in the Dual Submission Program with these journals.

The conference will be held at the Fairmont Chateau Whistler Resort in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada (http://www.fairmont.com/whistler). The conference will start with an opening reception in the evening of Friday March 2. The program will include 10 paper presentations and discussions and will end in the early afternoon of Sunday March 4.

DUAL SUBMISSION OPTION: In the submission, please indicate if you would like to have your paper considered (at no extra fee) for publication by either RAPS or RCFS under the Dual Submission Program. This is a "no-fault" submission option, which means that if one of the SFS journals decides to review your paper and rejects it, you may submit to any SFS journal at a later date as if the paper was never submitted. Note that, according to the SFS dual submission rules, papers considered under the dual submission program cannot be under consideration at any other journal, including RAPS and RCFS. See the SFS website at http://sfs.org/dualsubmissionpolicy for the details of the Dual Submission program.
