Duke University and the University of North Carolina are organizing a Corporate Finance Conference designed to bring together leading scholars in the field. The symposium will be held at the Fuqua School of Business in Durham on Friday, March 11. The conference is jointly sponsored by the Center for Financial Excellence at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, and the Wachovia Center for Corporate Finance at the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School. Papers in all areas of corporate finance are invited.

Conference participants are also invited to attend the Duke/Kauffman Entrepreneurship Conference to be held at Fuqua on March 10, which is jointly sponsored by Fuqua and the Kauffman Foundation.

Professor Andrew Metrick will give a keynote address at a joint dinner on Thursday night, March 10.

Papers should be well developed, but at a stage where they can still benefit from the group's discussion. Preference will be given to recent papers that have not previously been presented at major conferences. Papers will be selected by the Duke and UNC finance faculty.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

Please submit an electronic version of the paper (PDF format) no later than December 20, 2010 through the conference web page:
