Submission of Papers
We encourage doctoral students to submit papers or proposals to the Doctoral Tutorial. Submission deadline is February 1st, 2017 at 1:00 PM (13:00hrs) CET (Central European Time).
Students are welcome to add one or two additional page(s) raising the conceptual and methodological problems they face at the current stage of their dissertation, which they would like to discuss during the tutorial. All topics and methodological approaches within the broad field of finance are welcome.
Preference will be given to work that is substantially advanced but not fully completed. We consider only single-authored work by current PhD students who have not yet been in the job market, and who are planning to join the job market in 2017/2018 or later.
Students submitting to the Doctoral Tutorial must be EFA members for the current year 2017. Information about membership is available here.
Please check our guidelines for a full overview of the required documents.
