Program and Location

The conference will begin after lunch at 1:30pm on June 1, and conclude in the evening of June 3. This year’s conference was very selective with 1,050 paper submissions. In addition to a very high quality program, the conference will feature a keynote speech by Franklin Allen, Professor of Finance and Economics at Imperial College, London, and a founding member of FIRS.

The venue will be the Intercontinental, Lisbon, Portugal (http://www.intercontinental.com/lisbon), which is close to the historical downtown area. Lisbon, built on seven hills, is the capital and largest city of Portugal. As one of the oldest cities in Europe, it has much to offer in terms of museums, gardens, monuments, and architecture. Just outside of Lisbon are ocean-facing beaches, as well as the historic villages of Sintra and Cascais.
