Subject: EFA 2002, Berlin - Call for Paper
EUROPEAN FINANCE ASSOCIATION
29th Annual Meeting
21-24 August, 2002
Berlin, Germany
http://www.efa2002.org
The European Finance Association will hold its 29th annual meeting at Humboldt University
of Berlin, 21-24 August, 2002.
RESEARCH PAPERS
Contributions are welcome in all fields of Finance. All submitted papers will be evaluated
by two referees in a double-blind process.
To enable this process, the cover page of the submitted paper should contain the title of
the manuscript, the name and the affiliation of all the authors. The first page of text
should contain the title, an abstract of about 100 words, and the appropriate JEL
classification code, but not the author's name. (The JEL codes may be accessed at
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/DisplayJel.cfm)
SYMPOSIUM
As part of the EFA 2002 meeting there will be a special Symposium on Taxation and
Financial Markets, which will be organized by Professor Bjarne Astrup Jensen, Copenhagen
Business School, und Kristian Rydkvist, Norwegian School of Management Oslo, in
collaboration with the Program Chair.
Topics include but are not limited to:
- Taxation and valuation
- Taxation and asset allocation
- Taxation and pension saving
- International tax arbitrage
- Tax arbitrage with derivatives
- Case studies
Papers for the Symposium will be selected from those accepted by the EFA 2002 program
committee. A future issue of the European Finance Review will publish selected papers from
the symposium if resubmitted by the authors and after a second refereeing procedure.
Authors wishing to submit papers for the symposium should also use the regular submission
procedure as detailed below.
PRIZES FOR BEST PAPERS
We are delighted to announce that Barclays Global investors, one of the world's
largest investment managers, will be awarding the following prizes for three outstanding
papers:
- 5.000 Euros for the best paper presented at the Symposium
- 5.000 Euros for the best finance paper presented at the conference
- 5.000 Euros for the best paper by a current or recent Ph.D. candidate
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
To make the submission and refereeing process faster and more efficient, we plan to do
everything electronically. Thus we will only accept electronic submissions (in form of
pdf-files). If you have problems in submitting your paper electronically, please let us
know.
Authors wishing to present a paper should use the following 2-step procedure:
S t e p 1:
Register at our website as soon as possible - this will help us to prepare the refereeing
process efficiently. Use the registration form at our website
www.efa2002.org
S t e p 2:
Upload your paper into the SSRN system. In the SSRN-form to be filled out please select
"EFA 2002 Submission" as Recommended Abstract Appearance. If you do not select
other SSRN Subject Matter Journals, your submission will not be shown to and will not be
accessible by the public, but only by the program chair. Note that if you choose to submit
the paper to other SSRN Subject Journals at the same time, either on the same form or
separately, SSRN will publish the paper in the regular way without mentioning that it is
also an EFA submission.
If a paper is accepted for conference presentation it will be included in the "EFA
2002 Presentations Journal". The first issues of this electronic journal will be
published by SSRN in June.
Because of the large number of submissions many high quality papers had to be rejected
during the past years. To promote academic discussions during the meeting a second journal
will be published. If a paper is not accepted for presentation but is judged "above
average" by the referees it may be included in the "EFA 2002 Discussion
Journal" if the submitting author wishes to do so and at least one of the authors
attends the conference. The first issue of this electronic journal will be published by
SSRN in July. Both journals will remain publically accessible in the SSRN system for the
near future.
If a submitted paper is not included in either journal it will be included in the SSRN
e-Library or deleted, at the discretion of the submitting author and the SSRN editors.
For further information please contact paper(a)efa2002.org
DEADLINE
Deadline for registration and uploading papers is March 1, 2002.
DOCTORAL TUTORIAL
As part of the 29th annual meeting, the European Finance Association (EFA) and the
European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM) will jointly organize a
Doctoral Tutorial, as is now customary. It will take place on the 21 of August 2002,
starting at 10:00 a.m.
Selected proposals by Ph.D. students will be presented during the day. We encourage Ph.D.
students to submit well defined and detailed research proposals for one of their Ph.D.
essays or completed papers. In their research proposals, students are welcome to add an
additional page raising the conceptual and methodological problems they face with the
current status of their dissertations and that they would like to discuss during the
tutorial. Attendants will benefit from the comments of prestigious academics as well from
the overall discussion. The tutorial will be co-organized by Professors Wolfgang Bühler
(University of Mannheim) and Rajna Gibson (University of Zurich) in collaboration with the
EFA 2002 Chairman and the organizing committee. This year we are pleased to be able to
make participation to the Tutorial free for students attending the EFA 29th annual
