Dear Colleague,
Please see below the call for papers for the Third Wharton Conference on
Liquidity and Financial Crises. Please distribute to any potentially
interested researchers.
Following the success of last two years' conferences, the Financial
Institutions Center of the Wharton School of the University of
Pennsylvania is organizing the third conference on *"Liquidity and
Financial Crises". *The conference will take place on the University of
Pennsylvania Campus (Philadelphia PA) starting on the morning of Friday,
October 10, 2014 and ending in the afternoon of Saturday October 11,
2014. There will also be a reception and dinner on Friday evening.
Details of last years' programs are available here:

similar format this year.
We invite submissions of empirical and theoretical papers in various
fields of economics and finance that touch upon the broad theme of
Liquidity and Financial Crises. Topics of interest include, but are not

·The impact of crises and fragility on firms' financing and investment
policies

The submission deadline is *June 1, 2014* (note that the date has
changed from previous years). Authors will be notified by August 1, 2014
about the selection of papers.
This year, we added the opportunity for authors to use this conference
submission to also submit their paper to the Review of Financial Studies
(RFS) under the dual-submission policy of the Society for Financial
Studies. Details of this policy and its benefits to authors are
available here: http://sfs.org/dualsubmissionpolicy/. If you wish your
submission to the conference to be considered by the RFS under this
policy, please indicate this on the submission website for the
conference. Note that the decisions on acceptance of papers to the
conference are completely independent of whether or not the paper has
also been submitted to the RFS.
