FINANCE EVENTS & CALLS FOR PAPERS 

Call for Papers - Review of Finance Special Issue on China

The Review of Finance is launching a Special Issue on China, guest edited by Zhiguo He (University of Chicago) and co-edited by Yongxiang Wang (University of Southern California, Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance, and Associate Editor of the RF).  We welcome papers on all aspects of financial economics in China, including asset pricing, capital markets, financial intermediation, corporate finance, and corporate governance (for the latter, the conclusion of the above survey suggests potential research directions).  While we expect the majority of submitted papers to be empirical, we are also open to theory papers modelling issues in financial economics that are specific to China, “future of research” papers similar to the one on corporate governance, and papers involving the evaluation/certification of China data sets and giving best practice on how to manage them. (An example in a non-China context is the recent RF Spängler/IQAM Best Paper studying what are the best data sources to measure liquidity). Papers on the consequences of and responses to the coronavirus in China are also welcome, although this is only one of many topics of interest.

Research Grants provided by INQUIRE Europe

The Institute for Quantitative Research (INQUIRE) in Europe provides financial support for academic research projects with potential applications in the field of investment management. Several grants of €10,000 are awarded each year. Payments are made directly to the researcher, unless otherwise requested. Support of a research project by Inquire Europe does not in any way preclude subsequent publication of the paper in a journal of the researcher's choice. Completed papers may be invited for presentation at the INQUIRE's spring or fall Seminars. INQUIRE will pay the researcher's reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the seminar. More info on Inquire Europe, research grants that have been provided in the past, and on the application procedure, is available on INQUIRE’s website: www.inquire-europe.org.
