Second Annual Isenberg School of Management Finance Conference

The Department of Finance at the Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts Amherst, is delighted to host the Second Annual Isenberg School of Management Finance Conference on April 23—24, 2026.

Keynote Speaker: Wenxin Du

Professor Du is the Sylvan C. Coleman Professor of Financial Management and Professor of Finance at Harvard Business School. Her research spans international finance, empirical asset pricing, intermediary-based asset pricing, global liquidity, and market structure.

Paper Selection Process

We invite submissions in all areas of finance, including corporate finance, asset pricing, behavioral finance, macro-finance, AI & finance, and machine learning in finance. Papers should be sufficiently developed to allow for a productive discussion, but still at a stage where feedback will be valuable. Priority will be given to recent papers that have not been presented at major conferences.
