The Event

The workshop will consist of invited talks (with discussion) and a poster session. Each talk will last 40 minutes plus 15 minutes of discussion and 5 minutes for questions from the audience.

The confirmed speakers are Tim Bollerslev (Duke University), Dennis Kristensen (University College London), Michael Wolf (University of Zurich), Peter Hansen (European Institute), Asger Lunde (CREATES, Aarhus University), Andrew Patton (Duke University), David Veredas (Université Libre de Bruxelles), Eric Hillebrand (CREATES, Aarhus University), Rickard Sandberg (Stockholm School of Economics), Caio Almeida (EPGE/FGV-RJ), Marcelo Fernandes (São Paulo School of Economics/FGV-SP), and Hedibert Lopes (Chicago Booth School of Business).

The poster session will be an important part of the conference and the idea is that poster presenters will benefit from the discussion with the other participants of the workshop as well as with the invited speakers.

The program committee invites submissions of papers to be presented as a poster and welcomes and encourages contributions by young scholars and graduate students.

Prospective contributors are invited to submit their papers by Friday, August 16, 2013 to Marcelo C. Medeiros (mcm@econ.puc-rio.br). Please provide complete contact details in your submission. This includes affiliation, position, email addresses, and websites of authors and presenters. Notification of acceptance will be send no latter than Friday, August 30.
