The Academy of Behavioral Finance & Economics

I got an email from Prof Rassoul Yazdipour of Academy of Entrepreneurial Finance:

Dear Amol,
 
I very much enjoyed your blog on interview with professor Malkiel; esp. the part on Behavioral Finance/Econ. So I thought to drop a line and let you know about The Academy of Behavioral Finance & Economics www.aobf.org and its 2010 Annual Meeting in Chicago.
 
Appreciate spreading the word via your blogs/sites.
 
Best,
Rassoul

I was just checking the Annual meeting details and one can send papers by May 15, 2010. The meeting will be held on Sep 15-17 2009. The tentative topic list for papers is as follows:

Theoretical and empirical/experimental works that involve the application of psychology and neuroscience to all areas of financial decision-making and practice will be considered for presentation at the meeting. This includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

1.  Investment and the Working of Financial Markets at all levels of functionality and capital  allocation—including both public and private aspects; 
2.  Financial Management of Companies—both public and private entities;
3.  Firm Entry and Exit Process—ranging from startup ventures to mature businesses;
4.  Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Venture Capital;
5.  All other Business and Economic Endeavors that Involve Human Decision Making and Choice Under Conditions of Risk and Uncertainly; 
6.  Teaching and Learning—ranging from case development to other pedagogical issues. 

As it is tentative, one can send other behavioral finance/economics papers as well.

The 2009 meeting details are here. It was held on Sep 23-25 2009. They have not uploaded the papers till now.

So, I thought I would just share this information with the visitors of this blog. Please spread the word.

I would wait for the papers.

Addendum:

BTW, the Burton Malkiel post is here.
