Call for papers

We encouraged PhD students to submit completed drafts of one of their single-authored PhD papers, or well-defined and detailed research proposals. Submitters were welcome to add one or two additional page(s) raising the conceptual and methodological problems they face at the current stage of their dissertation, which they would like to discuss during the tutorial. All topics and methodological approaches within the broad field of finance were welcome. Preference will be shown for work that is substantially advanced but not fully completed. We consider only single-authored work by current PhD students who have not yet been on the job market, and who are planning to participate in the job market in 2013-14 or later.

Co-authored papers were not considered.
