Call for papers is now closed

The Cambridge Endowment for Research in Finance (CERF) welcomes submissions for its 2017 Corporate Finance Theory Symposium to be held in Cambridge UK, Cambridge Judge Business School,  15-16 September 2017.

The symposium covers all areas of theoretical corporate finance, including theory papers that combine corporate finance theory with a related area such as banking, market micro-structure, asset pricing, and financial accounting.

The format of the 2017 symposium will be similar in nature to previous years’ editions (Previous Conferences).  We expect to have about 9 papers (each with a discussant) and one keynote speech. This year’s keynote speaker will be Jean-Charles Rochet, Professor of Banking at the University of Zurich.
