Past Conference

KFA-TFA Conference

The inaugural Korea Finance Association-Taiwan Finance Association Joint Conference in Finance was hosted by the TFA, and was held on September 24, 2011 at Taiwan National University in Taipei where each side presented 18 research papers. Following the footstep of a very successful inaugural KFA-TFA Joint Conference, KFA hosted the second KFA-TFA Joint Conference in September 14, 2012 in Seoul, Korea where each side presented 15 research papers.

While the KFA had a lofty vision of organizing multilateral international conferences of the Allied Asian Finance Associations initially, KFA has a more modest goal of promoting interaction amongst Asian finance scholars through holding an annual academic conference where the members of partner finance associations get to present their research papers for a high quality feedback. This conference will provide a great opportunity for members of KFA and TFA to discuss and exchange perspectives on the ongoing important issues in financial markets in Asia and worldwide. We also welcome any and everyone who wishes to network with the members of KFA and TFA as well as to get to know the research works conducted by the members of KFA and TFA.

In this second KFA-TFA Joint Conference, 30 papers was presented in 10 sessions. These papers were selected from papers submitted by the members of KFA and TFA through blind peer-review process. The selected papers exhibit high standards of academic quality and discuss a wide range of exciting topics. Among these papers, four papers will be awarded as Best Papers.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the sponsors who provided generous support for the conference. I would also like to express my deepest appreciation to the members of this year’s Review Committee who evaluated the academic paper submissions.
