The Cambridge Endowment for Research in Finance (CERF) welcomes submissions for its 2022 Corporate Finance Theory Symposium to be held in Cambridge on 16 and 17 September 2022 in a hybrid format (unless otherwise notified). We anticipate that all the speakers, discussants and the keynote speaker will be present in person, Covid-permitting. The symposium covers all areas of theoretical corporate finance, including theory papers that combine corporate finance theory with a related area such as banking, market micro-structure, asset pricing, and financial accounting.

The format of the 2022 symposium will be similar in nature to previous years’ editions (Previous Conferences).  We expect to have about 8 papers (each with a discussant) and one keynote speech. The presentations will be also made available online (via Zoom Webinar).

The Keynote speaker for the 2022 Cambridge Corporate Finance Theory Symposium is Professor Josef Zechner (Vienna Graduate School of Finance and CEPR).
