Call For Papers: 
Please note the Call for Papers is now closed

The organising committee of this small, informal conference invites submissions of high quality theoretical or empirical research papers on financial intermediation.

How to Apply
To submit a paper, please visit www.conftool.pro/swiss-winter-fi-2023. The deadline for submissions is 6 pm (GMT), Friday, November 18. Each individual may only submit one paper (although they can be a co-author on other submitted papers). Authors will be notified about the acceptance of papers and the conference program by mid-January, 2023. There is no conference fee and there are no accommodation costs for the invited presenters, discussants and chairs, but all participants must cover their own travel costs.

Further Information
After several years in Lenzerheide, the conference will this year be hosted by the Study Center Gerzensee, which will generously sponsor accommodation costs and meals during the conference.
 
The academic programme starts Monday morning (April 3) and ends Wednesday (April 5) before noon. Due to capacity constraints, preference will be given to participants who can stay for the whole duration of the conference. Participants should plan to arrive Sunday afternoon (April 2) and leave Wednesday afternoon (April 5); there may also be the option to arrive a day earlier and use Sunday for outdoor activities. In addition to paper presentations with discussions, there will also be a poster session. However, ample time for discussion and collaboration will be left for sure.
 
The conference is committed to promoting high-quality diversity in the covered topics (including e.g. green, shadow and/or behavioural banking), in the modelling techniques and data sets employed, and in the background of the participants (including institutional affiliation, gender, and nationality).
