2025 Taiwan Finance Symposium- Asset Pricing

Call-for-Papers

The Department of Finance at National Taiwan University and The Center for Research in Econometric Theory and Applications (CRETA) as well as the Taiwan Finance Association will jointly host the 2025 Taiwan Finance Symposium on Friday, November 14, 2025, with the theme “Asset Pricing.”

We are honored to have Professor Bernard Herskovic from UCLA deliver the keynote speech. In additional to the invited speakers, we cordially invite distinguished scholars from the Asia-Pacific region and Taiwan to submit papers, present research, and serve as discussants.

Unlike general academic conferences or large annual meetings, this symposium emphasizes research quality and topic specialization. It aims to bring together scholars with deep expertise to engage in in-depth academic exchange, strengthen research interactions in the field of asset pricing, foster academic collaboration networks, and enhance the overall quality of finance research in Taiwan. Through this, we hope to increase the likelihood of publishing in leading international journals.

The symposium will feature 5–7 papers. Each selected paper will be allotted ample time for presentation and discussion, with detailed comments from the assigned discussant.

Topics of Interest (including but not limited to):

• Portfolio Choice and Asset Pricing
• Market Microstructure
• Financial Intermediation
• Financial Derivatives and Risk Management

Participation and paper presentations are free of charge for NTU faculty and students, as well as for current members of the Taiwan Finance Association.
