K Virtual Finance Seminar
The K virtual finance seminar series, co-hosted by the business schools of Korea University (KU) and Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), will feature weekly seminars held on Fridays in Korea Standard Time. Since its inception in the Fall of 2021, our seminar series has aimed to bring together world-renowned financial economists, with a particular focus on engaging audiences outside the U.S. and European time zones. We invite all interested individuals to join us for these seminars by using the Zoom links provided below. In addition, for those who are interested in presenting their research, please reach out to our organizers, Sunwoo Hwang (KU) and Changjoo Lee (KAIST), who will be coordinating the seminar series for the 2023-2024 academic year. If you'd like to receive weekly seminar announcements by email, please express your interest to our seminar assistants, Euro Bae and Seunghwan Lee.
Below is the list of speakers, along with the titles of their papers that will be presented, and the corresponding links to access the Zoom seminar rooms.
