Call for Papers

Time and Location:

13 May 2024, Warwick Business School, Coventry, UK

Description:

This is the call for papers for the 2024 Lancaster-Manchester-Warwick Joint PhD Workshop on Quantitative Finance and Financial Technology. We aim to create a casual and welcoming environment where research students (MRes, PhD and Postdoc) in Quantitative Finance and Financial Technology gather for vibrant and open discussions.

Submission:

We invite academic paper submissions across various domains of quantitative finance and fintech. The deadline for paper submission is 15 April 2024. The interested research student should send a PDF file of her/his completed paper or extended abstract to gillmorelab@wbs.ac.uk. Selection result will be announced by 22 April. Each submission should have the following on the cover page: title of the paper, abstract, authors' name, affiliation, and E-mail address.

Although we do accept extended abstracts, selection priority will be given to complete paper submissions. Additionally, to ensure a productive event, each presenter must serve as a discussant for another paper on the same topic. Only those selected completed paper submissions will be assigned discussants.

Workshop Format:

The workshop is a one-day event with two parallel tracks one for Quant Finance and one for FinTech. For each paper, we allocate 20 minutes of presentation followed by a 10-minute discussion and a 5-minute Q&A.
