Workshop

Corporate Finance Theory

June 14, 2024 - Kingston, ON

The Corporate Finance Theory workshop brings together theorists working in corporate finance, broadly defined, from leading Canadian universities. The workshop involves several presentations of early-stage work so that presenters can benefit from comments and suggestions from the audience.

Queen’s will be hosting the first edition of the workshop. In the future, we intend to organize this workshop on an annual or biennial basis, also in Toronto and Montreal.

The workshop is generously funded by the Research Office of Smith School of Business.
