The 2008 Financial Research Association Meeting December 13 and 14, 2008 The program committee of the Financial Research Association seeks new finance papers of general interest to the profession. We specifically seek new papers that do not have a "revise-resubmit" journal decision and have not been presented or scheduled to be presented at the Western Finance Association meeting or the American Finance Association meeting. The selection process is very competitive. Last year's acceptance rate was under 3.5%. All papers will be presented by a discussant, after which the authors will have an opportunity to respond. The association will present the Michael J. Barclay Award to the Ph.D. student who submits the best solo-authored paper. This student will receive reimbursed airfare (up to $400), hotel, and registration. Paper submissions should be emailed in PDF to FRA@bc.edu by August 31. The email must contain the following information: the names, affiliations, and email addresses of all co-authors, a list of the conferences at which the paper has been presented, and whether or not the submitting author is a Ph.D. student and would like to be considered for the Ph.D. student paper award. You will be notified of paper selection in the beginning of October. Once the program is set, the program committee will invite a limited number of participants to register for the meetings. The conference fee of $300 covers conference costs, including the Sunday dinner and a Saturday wine tasting. We have reserved a limited number of rooms at the Planet Hollywood Resort for $109 per night.
