11th National PhD Workshop in Finance

The Swedish House of Finance (SHoF) will organize the 11th 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 are planning to hold the conference in person at the Swedish House of Finance. The workshop will start after lunch time on the 18^th and end at lunch time on the 19^th. The sessions will consist of PhD student presentations, each followed by a discussion from a faculty member of a Swedish or Nordic institution.
