Conference Overview
Following the success of last year's conference, the China Development and Research Centre will host a 2nd European Journal of Finance Special Issue Conference on the topic of the Chinese capital market. The scientific committee invites submissions of high-quality and unpublished empirical research papers addressing contemporary issues related to the Chinese capital market. We welcome studies of the Greater China region, including mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, as well as comparative studies between these economic entities. Possible research areas include, but are not limited to: corporate finance, asset pricing and valuation, corporate governance, and market-based accounting research. The EJF is one of the top European-based finance journals and is rated as grade 3 (out of a possible grade 4) by the UK's Association of Business Schools (ABS) Academic Journal Quality Guide. It is indexed in Thomson Reuters Social Science Citation Index.
