FIFTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON CORPORATE FINANCE
October 30-31, 2008
Following the successes of the four previous corporate finance conferences, Olin Business School at Washington University and the Center for Finance and Accounting Research (CFAR) will be co-hosting the fifth annual conference titled Corporate Finance, October 30-31, 2008, at the Charles F. Knight Center on the Washington University in St. Louis campus.
The topics of interest for the conference are broad, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity, corporate control and organization, international issues in corporate finance, capital structure, payout decisions, behavioral aspects of finance, corporate investment decisions, and corporate governance. This is not an exhaustive list, and empirical and theoretical papers on these, as well as related topics, are most welcome.
If you wish to have your paper considered for presentation at the conference, please submit the paper electronically by June 30, 2008, by clicking on the Paper Submission tab. You may also indicate your willingness to serve as a discussant in the event your paper cannot be included. Questions regarding the submission process should be directed to Christine Hatina (hatina@wustl.edu).
The organizing committee consists of Armando Gomes, Ohad Kadan, Todd Milbourn and Anjan Thakor. Those submitting papers will be informed of the committees decision by August 31, 2008.
The conference organizers will pay room and board expenses during the conference for those participating in the conference as a presenter, discussant, or chairperson, but participants are responsible for their own travel expenses. We look forward to an exciting conference and hope you will submit your paper for consideration.
