PUBLICATION OPPORTUNITY 2

PBFJ PRE-REGISTERED PROPOSALS

 

Professor Robert Faff from Bond University will again co-ordinate and lead a pre-registered proposals stream at WFC2024. The pre-registration process focuses on accepting proposed projects based on great ideas, highly capable expert research teams who employ frontier techniques that deliver credible and reliable knowledge. Put simply, pre-registered proposal presenters will strive to convince the journal editor to "sponsor" their yet-to-be-executed research toward future publication in Pacific-Basin Finance Journal (PBFJ).  This stream of WFC2024 will be based on a carefully designed process described in the guidelines and information sheet available at the following link:
