EUROPEAN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION

2014 Annual Conference

June 25 – 28, 2014

University of Rome Tor Vergata – School of Economics

Rome, ITALY

Dear colleagues and friends of the European Financial Management Association (EFMA),

On behalf of the School of Economics of the University of Rome Tor Vergata, We have the great pleasure and privilege to

welcome you to Rome and the 23rd Annual Meeting of the EFMA.

A very large number of high quality papers were received, making the refereeing process a very challenging task. All

submitted papers were blindly reviewed by the outstanding members of the Program Committee from top academic

institutions including: New York University, Harvard Business School, MIT, Stanford University, Wharton School, London

Business School, Columbia University, INSEAD, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Bocconi University,

HEC Paris, University of Oxford, Yale School of Management, Cornell University and UCLA. To all of them, as well as to all

who submitted papers, accepted to discuss them and to chair sessions, go our heartfelt thanks.

The highly competitive refereeing process led to a selection of 288 papers out of an extremely large number of paper

submissions. The program consists of 96 parallel sessions and 3 special sessions, with very renown academic specialists in

each topic.

The EFM “Merton H. Miller” Doctoral Seminar, sponsored by the EFM Journal, is an excellent outlet for PhD students to

enhance their research skills through specific tutorials under the guidance of great academics. Professor Alon Brav from the

Fuqua School of Business, Duke University and Professor Amit Goyal from University of Lausanne are the Distinguished

Doctoral Seminar Keynote Lecturers of the 2014 program.

It would be impossible to organize such a big conference without the technical, administrative, organizational support, effort,

dedication and perseverance of the organizing committee of the 2014 EFMA Annual Conference. We are grateful to Marina

Brogi, Lorenzo Caprio, Ettore Croci, Vincenzo Farina, Umberto Filotto, Franco Fiordelisi, Gianni Nicolini, Gustavo Piga e

Francesco Zirilli, We also thank John Doukas, the EFMA staff and the Program Chair of the 2013 EFMA conference,

Simone Varotto, for their helpful support and prompt advice whenever needed.

Of course, we would also like to extend our sincere thanks to the conference sponsors, Assifact, Assofin, Crif, and The PhD

in Management of the University of Rome Tor Vergata; the conference award sponsors, EFMA, GARP, NYSE Euronext,

Larry Lang and John Doukas; and also to the University of Rome Tor Vegata for providing resources administratively,

physically and financially.

We hope you will benefit greatly from the challenging and intellectually stimulating conference program and wish you a

exciting stay in Rome, the eternal city.
