Success at the 36th International Conference of the AFFI
Thursday July 11th, 2019
From June 17 to 19, 2019, nearly 150 financial management professors, researchers and professionals gathered as part of the 36th International Conference of the French Finance Association (AFFI). Held for the very first time on North American soil, this conference brought together researchers mainly from Europe, but also from North America, Asia and Australia.
The first day was dedicated to doctoral students, who were given the opportunity to present their research projects as part of the “Ph.D. Workshop.” Several lectures were
subsequently featured in the second part of this gathering. Worthy of special mention is the participation of the 2 keynote speakers: Robert Stambaugh, Professor of Finance
at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and Douglas Cumming, Professor of Finance and Entrepreneurship at the Florida Atlantic University College of Business.
The welcome reception was held at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, and the closing gala took place at the Petit Séminaire de Québec.
The AFFI also awarded 3 prizes among the guests:
- Best thesis in Financial Markets
Hava Orkut
Le comportement des investisseurs individuels français: enjeux dans le cadre de la directive MiFID
- Best thesis in Corporate Finance
Mario Milone
On the Costs and Externalities of Intermediation
- Best article in derivatives granted by the Canadian Derivatives Institute
Nicolas Mauhé
Systemic Failure in a Network of Derivative Contracts
The attendants were delighted with the quality of the exchanges and emphasized the outstanding charm of Québec and Université Laval.
Congratulations to the organizing committee for its involvement, as well as the financial partners for making this such a successful event!
