Monash Winter Finance Conference 2023
The Department of Banking and Finance at Monash Business School is delighted to announce our first
Winter Finance Conference.
The conference will showcase and further develop Australian academic research in finance and banking, both theoretical and empirical.
This workshop-style event will feature around 8 presented papers. Conference participants are expected to have read all conference papers in advance and be prepared to contribute suggestions for improvement.
Each paper will have a discussant and there will be around half an hour devoted to questions and suggestions from the audience.
The presenting author must be based in Australia. There is no restriction on the affiliation of any co-authors. Presenters and discussants will have their travel to Melbourne and accommodation covered (up to a reasonable amount). Dinner will also be held following day one of the conference on 19 July.
Attendee feedback
"(I liked) the seminar style of the conference, which has amazing Q&As. Equally important, it was a great opportunity to re-connect with great finance researchers in Australia."
"(There was) active involvement from the audience, everyone read the paper before attending, (there were) friendly Monash faculty members, (a) very unique workshop-styled conference."
"The unique format of short presentations (was) followed by extensive discussions among participants. Since (some) participants thoroughly read the papers beforehand and lead the discussions, the feedback provided to presenters was valuable and insightful. As a presenter, I personally benefitted a lot and received the most valuable inputs so far. For that, I am grateful to the conference organisers' efforts."
"The format was very interesting. Giving most of the time to audience members who actually read the papers provides a lot of value to the presenters. "
"The conference is well organised, and the sessions are well structured. I really enjoyed the 30-minute audience discussions."
