FMA International is pleased to announce its Sixth Annual Asian Meeting in Tokyo to be hosted by HitotsubashiUniversity. Continuing the successful model used for our previous Asian meetings, this meeting will be smaller than our traditional meetings and offer only a few high-quality concurrent sessions. We therefore seek strong papers from scholars in all fields of finance. In addition to papers on traditional finance topics, we encourage the submission of papers on the financial crisis, and post-crisis challenges for financial markets. The criteria used to select papers for the program include the nature of the research problem, implications of the proposed research, the quality of the research design, and the expected contribution of the research to the literature.
