4th Nordic-Iberian Doctoral Workshop on Financial Economics
|
Call for papers Student-led Workshop at the Hanken School of Economics in Vaasa |
We invite PhD students and Young Scholars who graduated in or after 2021 from around the world to join us at the Nordic-Iberian Doctoral Workshop on Financial Economics.
Inspired by the spirit of Nordic-Iberian collaboration, the workshop offers a welcoming environment for early-career researchers to exchange ideas, receive constructive feedback, and build connections across borders. We encourage submissions exploring firm behavior, markets, and institutions through diverse theoretical and methodological approaches, both quantitative and qualitative.
Submission guidelines
We strongly encourage the submission of a full manuscript for the most comprehensive review and feedback. However, we also welcome an extended abstract of strictly no more than 2000 words (references excluded). Both single and co-authored papers are welcome.
The extended abstract should provide a clear summary of the paper's contribution, methodology, data (in case of an empirical section), and main findings/results. Abstracts can contain figures and tables within the 2000-word limit.
Please ensure your submission consists of two separate PDF files: a title page with all authors' information, and an anonymized extended abstract or an anonymized full manuscript for evaluation by the Scientific Committee.
You can submit in pdf format by using this Submission form. The workshop features two session types designed to support different stages of research. In addition to the traditional Paper Presentation session, with a full-length discussion, there will be the option to have a special session for extended abstracts looking for constructive suggestions to develop and improve their research. This session focuses on gathering diverse feedback quickly and includes a dedicated networking coffee break immediately afterward to facilitate more in-depth feedback.
The deadline for submission is January 31st, 2027, by 11:59 p.m. UTC+2.
We kindly ask each applicant to submit only one application under their name. If the same author submits multiple papers, only the latest application will be evaluated. Submissions will be selected based on a review by the Scientific Committee, and applicants will be notified of the application outcome by e-mail at the beginning of March 2026.
Note that presenters are expected to serve as discussants for a colleague's paper within their field of research.
