Conference on Financial Market Misconduct – Toronto, Ontario

York University hosts the Conference on Financial Market Misconduct April 3-4, 2014, in Toronto, Canada.

Financial market misconduct erodes investors trust, and in turn influences stock market liquidity and performance, and exacerbates volatility. Financial market misconduct includes but is not limited to fraud. Despite the widespread media attention on market misconduct, the causes and consequences of market misconduct are often misunderstood and under researched around the world. The evolving structure of markets gives rise to new work on topic.  This international conference will provide a timely debate on financial market misconduct. The conference also encourages, but does not require, submission to the Journal of Corporate Finance. Papers submitted to the Journal of Corporate Finance would go through the normal review process.

Deadline: Dec. 15, 2013. Papers are to be submitted to Douglas J. Cumming, dcumming[@]schulich.yorku.ca, with the subject heading: “CFA-JCF -Schulich Conference on Financial Market Misconduct.”  In your submissions, please indicate whether you want your paper to be considered for the Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF). Papers submitted to the JCF should also be submitted online at the JCF webpage. Papers will be reviewed following normal JCF standards. im
