2023 Applied Finance Conference 

12 May 2023 | St. John's University, New York, NY

The Eleventh Annual FMA Applied Finance Conference will be hosted in-person at St. John’s University’s Tobin College of Business's Manhattan campus located in the heart of New York City’s most vibrant neighborhoods. 

Please note: St. John's University no longer requires that all campus visitors be fully vaccinated for Covid-19. 

The Conference is much smaller and more focused than the FMA’s traditional meetings and includes a relatively small number of papers to provide ample opportunity for presentations and discussion by participants. FMA seeks high-quality papers from scholars and practitioners in the fields of finance and accounting that:

  • Inform practice and advance the frontiers of academic research in directions relevant to practice.
  • Address issues that are relevant to contemporary issues globally and for policy formation and assessment.
  • Introduce new hypotheses that have the potential to stimulate additional research.
