The Cambridge Endowment for Research in Finance (CERF) welcomes submissions for its 2025 Corporate Finance Theory Symposium to be held in Cambridge, UK, in person, on 26 and 27 September 2025. The symposium covers all areas of theoretical corporate finance, including theory papers that combine corporate finance theory with a related area such as banking, market micro-structure, asset pricing, and financial accounting.
The format of the 2025 symposium will be similar in nature to previous years’ editions (Previous Conferences). We expect to have about 9 papers (each with a discussant) and one keynote speech.
The Keynote speaker for the 2025 Cambridge Corporate Finance Theory Symposium:
Professor Andrew Winton (Carlson School of Management).
