| Ideally, the conference will provide a forum
to tie together financial contract theory and empirical work in applied
finance, by probing theory with data and using theory to understand
data.
The field of applied contract theory is of great interest to the Journal of Financial Intermediation, and the journal will devote a special issue to the conference, subject to its usual strict refereeing standards. Per Strömberg and Ernst-Ludwig von Thadden will be the editors of the special issue. |
