Risk Theory Society Annual Seminar: Virginia Commonwealth University
Location: Richmond, Virginia, USA
Abstract deadline: 15 December 2005
Event Dates: 21-23 April 2006
The Risk Theory Society will hold its annual seminar on April 21-23, 2006 at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA.
The Risk Theory Society is a group of economists, financial economists, and actuaries who undertake theoretical and applied research in the areas of insurance economics, financial economics related to insurance markets, actuarial science, and, more generally, in the economic analysis of risk and uncertainty . Membership in the Society is earned by presenting a paper at the yearly Risk Theory Society Seminar.
The Risk Theory Society invites interested parties to submit a paper for the 2006 meeting. Authors of selected papers present their research to the members in a seminar setting. Historically, the seminar has been thought provoking and the “no holds barred” approach has allowed for rigorous discussion of an author’s findings.
Five-page abstracts (or a rough draft of a paper) on any relevant topic should be e-mailed by December 15th, 2005 to:
Professor Richard Phillips
Georgia State University
rphillips@gsu.edu
The program committee will notify successful authors by January 15th, 2006. Papers must be completed and sent to all seminar participants by March 15th. Financial support for travel (North American portion only) for one author per paper is available. For more information, please contact Professor Phillips or visit the Risk Theory Society web site.
