The Swedish House of Finance (SHoF) will organize the 14th National Workshop for PhD students in Finance on October 15-16. The workshop offers students from Swedish academic institutions the possibility to present their research and get feedback from faculty and fellow students. The workshop is meant to bring together PhD students and faculty in Finance from all over Sweden to share and discuss their work.

Theoretical and empirical papers in all areas of Finance are welcome. Completed as well as preliminary drafts will be considered, and submissions of papers written solely by PhD students are particularly encouraged.

We will hold the conference in person at the Swedish House of Finance. The workshop will start after lunchtime on October 15th with a dinner in the eventing and end at lunchtime on October 16th. The sessions will consist of PhD student presentations, each followed by a discussion from a faculty member of a Swedish or Nordic institution.

Papers will be selected by the Program Committee. Authors will be notified of the Committee's decision by September 24, 2025. There is no workshop or submission fee.

We are glad to announce that the Program Committee will give The Ola Bengtsson Award for the best Finance PhD paper, as well as an award for the best discussion during the workshop.
