TOPICS

We welcome submissions of high-quality research papers on all topics related to finance, especially topics on Fintech and/or Chinese financial markets.

DUAL SUBMISSTION TO THE JOURNAL OF EMPIRICAL FINANCE UNDER FAST TRACK

The Guanghua International Symposium on Finance and the JEF offer a dual submission process at the invitation of the JEF  editors. Authors must indicate on the conference submission website whether they are interested in having their papers considered under this duel submission process. Dual submission papers will be made available for consideration by the JEF editors. At the discretion of the editors, due submission papers will be sent out for a formal review, in which case the authors will receive copies of the referee reports. If selected, authors have until one month after the conference to submit their papers to the JEF, regardless whether their papers are accepted for presentation at the conference.

The JEF aims for a fast turnover time for papers entering into the dual submission process: a maximum of two months for the first-round review, and a final decision (acceptance, conditional acceptance, or rejection) after two rounds.
