📜 Format & Rules

We aim for a meeting every two weeks on average. Volunteering Ph.D. students pick one paper either from the list below or propose a paper to present. If you propose something which is not on the list, the organizers must approve it first. Try to pick a paper which is loosely related to your own research agenda, but from which everyone can learn.

You present the paper in a conference-style, 30’ presentation, which is followed by a group discussion. All participants commit to read the selected paper in advance, and actively participate in the meeting. Papers and slots are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.

Meetings are online (for now), and hopefully, we can switch to an on-campus version soon. We will meet at lunchtime (12:00), Thursdays, and preferably try to fill up dates when no Finance seminar is taking place. The open slots are indicated in the table below. Please write me (Tamas) an email to book a slot.
