The organizers invite submissions addressing any of the following, or related, topics: • The future of financial services regulation – how will the financial crisis affect the structure of financial services regulation going forward? • Insider trading and acquisitions – are there anomalies? • Leveraged and inverse Exchange Traded Funds – what are their impact on market quality and market integrity? • High-frequency trading – what is it? How does it affect market quality and market integrity? • Developments in market structure, including dark pools – where is market structure heading? In addition to these themes, papers addressing other areas of market structure and market integrity research are welcomed.

| Additional Info | Joint Special Issue Conference on Law, Ethics, and Finance: European Journal of Finance Journal of Business Ethics Keynote Speaker: Michael Jensen, Harvard Business School Organizers: Robert Cressy, Birmingham Business School Douglas Cumming, Schulich School of Business, York University Christine Mallin, Birmingham Business School Rationale: As the world economy struggles out of the financially induced recession, the concept of ethical or socially responsible investment, along with corresponding calls for regulation, will play an increasingly important role in the study of finance for both privately held and publicly traded companies. While there has been a growing literature on law and finance largely through cross-country studies of publicly traded companies, and perhaps somewhat less work on ethics and finance of publicly traded companies, there has however been comparatively little work at the intersection of these topics. As well, there has been comparatively little work on the law and finance and/or the ethics and finance of privately held companies. We believe this gap needs to change. The search for improved ethics, corporate governance, transparency and regulation of business and finance is certain to increase. Future investors are likely to focus on investing in firms where an entrepreneurial flare is combined with a culture of integrity in both publicly traded and privately held firms. Such firms will be likely to display a sense of ethics in their everyday operations and in longer term, more strategic decision-making. This international conference will provide a timely debate on these important issues. Two prominent journals (the European Journal of Finance and the Journal of Business Ethics) have both offered to publish special issues for a selection of the best conference papers. Email submissions by 1 June 2010 to Douglas Cumming at dcumming@schulich.yorku.ca Details: http://research.schulich.yorku.ca/pdf/JBE_EJF_call_Feb_11_2010.pdf |

| Submission Deadline | June 1, 2010 |
| Additional Info | Call for papers - Liquidity and Liquidity Risks 23/24 September, 2010 Frankfurt, Germany A joint conference by Deutsche Bundesbank, European Banking Center, and European Business School The crisis of 2007/2008 has underlined the importance of understanding and managing liquidity risks, primarily from a systemic viewpoint. A widely held view before the crisis was that a greater marketability of bank assets helps to reduce financial intermediaries’ liquidity risks. This view no longer prevails. Supposedly liquid assets, in particular in the form of securitized assets, seized to be actively traded. Intermediaries were involved in fire sales due to increased margin calls and depressed asset prices further contributed to de-stabilising liquidity spirals. Central banks reacted in unprecedented ways to contain liquidity problems mainly by lowering interest rates and through quantitative easing. Liquidity risks come in many shades as the crisis has shown. A consensus on how to assess the extent and likelihood of these liquidity shocks and the risk of spillovers has not yet emerged and further research is warranted. There is a need for a broader understanding on how to manage both liquidity risks and liquidity shortages from the viewpoint of individual financial institutions as well as from a systemic perspective. This conference will provide a forum to discuss these interrelations, with the view of facilitating a more integrated approach for liquidity and liquidity risk. A keynote speech will be delivered by Axel Weber (Deutsche Bundesbank). Researchers from universities, private sector institutions, supervisory authorities and central banks are encouraged to submit empirical and theoretical research papers. The deadline for submissions is June 1st 2010. Papers should be submitted electronically to conferences@bundesbank.de along with your affiliation and email address. Acceptance decisions will be made by July 1st, 2010. |

| Submission Deadline | March 30, 2010 |
| Additional Info | A one-day conference on the important topic of managerial compensation will be held in the Council Chamber of the Glamorgan Building at Cardiff University on 3 September 2010. The recent events around the credit crunch have put managerial compensation firmly back on the agenda of policy makers and shareholders alike. Recent cases in failing firms even have turned excessive managerial compensation into an issue of concern for society at large. For example, on 18 April 2009, US Congressman Michael F. Doyle issued a press release in which he stated that he had “urged the Treasury Department to block the bonuses that AIG [had] proposed paying a number of its employees and ensure a full accounting of the bail-out money AIG [had] received [from US taxpayers].” Presenters are invited to submit their paper for consideration for publication in a special issue of the Journal of Corporate Finance scheduled for 2011. The special issue, which will be edited by Marc Goergen (Cardiff University) and Luc Renneboog (Tilburg University). There will be two keynote addresses by Professor David Yermack of Stern School of Business and Lord Paul Myners, Financial Services Secretary to the Treasury. Papers should be submitted via email to carbs-conference@cf.ac.uk by 30 March 2010. The cover page of each paper should contain an abstract of no more than 150 words, the relevant Journal of Economic Literature codes as well as several keywords. The cover page should not contain any information that identifies the authors. Authors are also requested to submit a separate cover page including all of the above items as well as the authors’ names and affiliations. Authors should clearly indicate in their email whether they would like their paper to be considered for publication in the special issue of the Journal for Corporate Finance. All papers will be double blind refereed and authors will be informed of the organizers’ decision by the end of May 2010. The conference organizers will cover reasonable travel costs for the invited speakers. |

| Submission Deadline | March 15, 2010 |
| Additional Info | The Paul Woolley Centre was established at the London School of Economics in September 2007. Research at the centre aims at understanding the workings of capital markets and the social efficiency of allocations these markets achieve. The research departs from the Arrow-Debreu view of frictionless markets, and emphasizes the role of financial institutions (e.g. investment banks, mutual, hedge, and pension funds) in influencing prices and allocations. The main themes are: . Contracts and organizational structure: What contracts should govern the agency relationship between investors and fund managers? How do contracts influence managers' investment policies? What determines the organizational structure of the fund-management industry? . Market frictions and asset prices: How do frictions such as asymmetric information, market-entry costs, or agency, impact the informational efficiency of prices? What are the implications for market liquidity and for phenomena such as excess volatility or contagion? . Allocative efficiency and the macro-economy: Frictions can generate allocative inefficiencies, such as imperfect risksharing and misallocation of capital in the macroeconomy. How important are these inefficiencies and how can they be measured? . Policy implications: Can regulatory policies mitigate market inefficiencies? For example, can changes in contracts between investors and managers, or the introduction of new assets, generate Pareto-improvements? The Paul Woolley Centre is holding a conference each year based on these broad themes as well as related research questions. The goal is to bring together researchers working on such questions, disseminate their research, and stimulate the development of new ideas. Both empirical and theoretical papers are welcome. The programme of the centre's first and second conference can be found at http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/paulWoolleyCentre/events/ConferencesAndLectures.htm . |

| Submission Deadline | January 31, 2010 |
| Additional Info | While there is a general agreement that today’s financial crisis has lead to a persistent shortage of financial resources and to a general economic slowdown, we still lack a broad and deep understanding of the different microeconomic mechanisms governing the interplay between firms behaviour and financial constraints. Indeed, a good deal of empirical and theoretical studies have shown that financial constraints play an important role in several aspects of firm behaviour, such as firm survival and growth, all the way export and location decisions. On a different albeit related ground, constraints on internal and external financing are likely to be more severe for particular groups of firms. One example is young firms, about which information asymmetries in goods and credit markets can be larger and thereby imply more difficulties in generating cash flows and obtaining external finance. Likewise, for innovative firms, technological uncertainty and lack of collateral make it likely that such firms will rely more on internal sources to finance R&D expenditures. Finally, although credit crunches originating in the financial sector are certainly biting all firms, they are likely to impact first and more acutely on those categories of firms (e.g. small firms) for which monitoring costs are higher. The workshop will be introduced by a small group of distinguished international scholars and will be aimed at gathering empirical and theoretical contributions on the interplay between financial structures and the growth of firms and their implications for industry and aggregate dynamics. Contributions on the interrelations between firms’ financial structures and the following topics are especially welcomed: - Firm entry, growth and survival - Technology adoption and innovation - Export strategy and location choice - Firms behavior and aggregate dynamics - Financial Crises and the supply of credit to firms - Transmission mechanisms from financial to real markets |
