UNC/Duke Corporate Finance Conference

Chapel Hill, North Carolina,
October 31 and November 1, 2008

The University of North Carolina and Duke University are organizing a Corporate Finance Conference designed to bring together leading scholars in the field. The symposium will be held in Chapel Hill on Friday afternoon, October 31 and Saturday, November 1, 2008. The conference, which will feature a keynote address by Professor Jeremy Stein of Harvard University, is jointly sponsored by Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and the University of North Carolina’s Kenan-Flagler Business School and Wachovia Center for Corporate Finance. Papers in all areas of corporate finance are invited.

PAPER SELECTION PROCESS:

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 finance faculty at UNC and Duke in conjunction with an external program advisory committee consisting of:

Franklin Allen, Wharton School
Malcolm Baker, Harvard University
Milton Harris, University of Chicago
Michael Lemmon, University of Utah
Antoinette Schoar, M.I.T.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

Please submit an electronic version of the paper (MS Word or PDF format) no later than July 15, 2008 through the conference web page:

Paper selection will be finalized by September 1, 2008.

For any additional questions please contact Simon Gervais at sgervais@duke.edu or Günter Strobl at strobl@unc.edu.
