Seminars & Conferences



The communication of new developments in the theory and practice of finance occurs not only through publication in journals or lectures in the classroom, but face-to-face in seminars and conferences. Here presenters, faculty and students engage in discussions that foster new ideas and new ways of thinking about existing theories and practices.
