EFA Doctoral Events – Frequently Asked Questions

EFA Doctoral Workshop
 
The EFA Doctoral Workshop (EFA-DW) is the fifth in an educational workshop series on "New Frontiers in Finance". The aim is to explore lesser-known areas of Finance and provide a solid background for PhD students interested in doing research in these fields. This closed pre-conference session is intended for PhD students in their second or third year. The focus and theme for 2022 is FinTech – Digital Currency and Blockchains.

The 2022 EFA-DW will again study the new FinTech area of digital currency and blockchains, which has become one of the fastest growing research areas in Finance. Note that the theme and invited faculty are the same as last year when the workshop was held online; this year, we are hoping to hold the workshop in real life in Barcelona which will be a very different experience.  We will examine research into the architecture of distributed ledgers, decentralized consensus protocols, and smart contracts, as well as the governance issues connected to them. Uses of cryptocurrency in payments, entrepreneurial finance (ICOs), remittances, and capital market clearing and settlement will be explored. Additional sessions will consider research into the performance of digital assets as investments and the emergence of stablecoins as potential rivals to sovereign fiat currencies, among other topics. This EFA-DW will highlight the most important research published to date on these topics and look closely at emerging regulation and FinTech data sources.

Application
Interested students are invited to apply for the EFA-DW by uploading the following documents:

1. Application Letter (one page)
2. CV
3. Letter of Recommendation (from the PhD Advisor or Coordinator) explaining how the EFA-DW topic is linked to the student's research and how the PhD student could benefit from participating in the workshop. This letter should be uploaded separately (by the advisor or the student) via Dropbox at the following link: Dropbox

Deadline: March 15, 2022, at 1 pm / 13:00 CET (Central European Time)

• Fahad Saleh (Wake Forest University), invited speaker
• Amin Shams (Ohio State University), invited speaker

You can submit to both the EFA Annual Meeting (main conference) and the Doctoral Tutorial  or Doctoral Workshop (pre-conference event); however, you will need to make two separate submissions in the two systems; you cannot apply to both Tutorial and Workshop because they happen at the same time and have different qualification criteria.

We look forward to receiving your applications for the 2022 EFA-DW by the deadline!
