The conference will be held in person on May 6th through 8th in Milan, Italy and will be hosted at the SDA Bocconi School of Management at Bocconi University. This will be the third annual conference in finance and development featuring a dual submission option with the RFS.

We invite the submission of empirical – both experimental and non-experimental – as well as theoretical work on financial markets in low and middle-income countries. We encourage submissions from early-career scholars including PhD students, and underrepresented groups.

The program will be organised by RFS Executive Editor Tarun Ramadorai of LSE, Imperial College Business School and CEPR, RFS Editor Viral Acharya of New York University and CEPR, and program chairs Giorgia Barboni, Kim Fe Cramer, Sean Higgins, and Nicola Limodio, along with the programme committee.

I was incredibly honored to be awarded the CSWEP Carolyn Shaw Bell Award. When I accepted the award, I talked about the importance of mentoring. The lessons I pass on are kind of obvious. But they are important, so I am going to share them yet again. (A🧵)
