12th National PhD Workshop in Finance
The Swedish House of Finance (SHoF) will organize the 12th National Workshop for PhD students in Finance on October 18-19. The workshop offers students from Swedish academic institutions the possibility to present their research and get feedback from faculty and fellow students. The workshop is meant to bring together PhD students and faculty in Finance from all Sweden to share and discuss their work.
Theoretical and empirical papers in all areas of Finance are welcome. Completed as well as preliminary drafts will be considered, and submissions of papers written solely by PhD students are particularly encouraged.
We will hold the conference in person at the Swedish House of Finance. The workshop will start after lunch time on October 18th and end at lunch time on October 19th. The sessions will consist of PhD student presentations, each followed by a discussion from a faculty member of a Swedish or Nordic institution.
We are glad to announce that the Program Committee will give The Ola Bengtsson Award for best Finance PhD paper, as well as an award for the best discussion during the workshop, thanks to a generous contribution from the Nasdaq OMX Foundation.
Anna Dreber, Johan Björkman professor of Economics at the Stockholm School of Economics, will give a keynote speech during the conference.
