For almost 20 years, the Northern Finance Association has provided an annual fall forum at which finance academics, professionals, and PhD students from throughout North America and around the world gather to hear and present the latest research in all areas of finance. These areas include: asset pricing, arbitrage, behavioral finance, corporate finance, corporate governance, derivatives, emerging markets, financial development, financial institutions, finance theory, financial regulation, international finance, market efficiency, market microstructure, mathematical finance, real estate finance, and other papers of general interest.

The Northern Finance Association is an unincorporated group of Canadian finance academics. Financial, venue and program logistics are managed by a different host university each year. The originators of the NFA were Lawrence Kryzanowski (Concordia University), Vijay Jog (Carlton University) and Giovanni Barone-Adesi (then at University of Alberta). Since 2002, the Keynote Address at the conference has been known as the Kryzanowki-Barone-Adesi Distinguished Lecture.

If your school would like to host the NFA, please contact Lawrence or Vijay for details. The most recent NFA organizers can also provide you with help.
