Finance Research Symposia
Each semester, in the Fall and Spring, the Finance Department at the University of Arizona hosts a research symposium during which leading scholars in financial economics present their most cutting-edge work. These presentations provide the speakers with the opportunity to disseminate their work and receive feedback from the Arizona faculty members. The symposium also includes several round-table discussions between the speakers and the Arizona PhD students, wherein the students can learn more about the research process and develop personal connections with each speaker.
