Call for Papers
Eleventh Annual Texas Finance Festival
April 24-25, 2009
AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center
Austin, Texas
The 11th Annual Texas Finance Festival (TFF) will be held April 24-25, 2009 at the AT&T Executive Education and Conference Center, Austin, TX 78705. (See http://www.meetattexas.com/ for details on location.) The conference is sponsored by the Department of Finance at the University of Texas at Austin and the Society for Financial Studies (SFS).
You are invited to submit papers on any topic in financial economics for the 2009 TFF. In order to encourage submissions by more junior researchers, priority will be given to papers submitted by researchers who have graduated on or after June 2002. The deadline for submission is:
February 1, 2009
Please submit an electronic (pdf) version of the paper to: TFF-2008@mccombs.utexas.edu (yes, the email address has 2008 in it). Space is limited so we will give first priority to program participants. The registration fee for the conference is $150.
TFF & RFS PARTNERSHIP:
TFF and the Review of Financial Studies announce a combined submission process. At your choice, your paper submitted to the TFF also will be considered for publication by the RFS free of charge. The rules for this dual submission process are as follows:
- You must expressly indicate you are interested in consideration by the RFS.
- At the discretion of the RFS, dual submissions will be sent out for a formal referee report. If such a report is sought, then the paper’s author will receive a copy of the RFS reviewer’s report. Only a relatively small number of submissions will be sent for a formal referee report.
- Papers submitted for dual consideration must not be under review at another journal or the RFS, nor can they be considered for dual submission if previously rejected by the RFS.
- "Rejected" paper authors are permitted to submit a future version of their papers to the RFS without prejudice.
- While under consideration by the TFF and the RFS, a paper may not be submitted to another journal (or the RFS) until the author has been notified.
