Conference on Financial Market Misconduct – Toronto, Ontario

The CFA InstituteJournal of Corporate Finance, and Schulich School of Business, York University, invite papers for the Conference on Financial Market Misconduct, April 3-4, 2014. Best paper will receive a $2,000 prize.

Financial market misconduct erodes investors trust, and in turn influences stock market liquidity and performance, and exacerbates volatility. Financial market misconduct includes but is not limited to fraud. Despite the widespread media attention on market misconduct, the causes and consequences of market misconduct are often misunderstood and under researched around the world. The evolving structure of markets gives rise to new work on topic.

Submit papers to Douglas J. Cumming, dcumming[@]schulich.yorku.ca, with the subject heading: “CFA-JCF -Schulich Conference on Financial Market Misconduct.”  In your submissions, please indicate whether you want your paper to be considered for the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF). Papers submitted to the JCF should also be submitted online at the JCF webpage. Papers will be reviewed following normal JCF standards.

Deadline: December 15, 2013 im
