Announcing the new SoFiE Invited Lecture Series

The Society for Financial Econometrics is pleased to announce the creation of a new Invited Lecture Series. The series was inaugurated at a conference in Montreal on May 10. The first two lectures were delivered by Robert Engle and Lars Peter Hansen. At most two lectures will be scheduled on an annual basis. The lectures will be recorded and posted on the SoFiE website, and members of the Society will be able to follow them via live streaming. The prestigious series will feature leading scholars in the field of financial econometrics. 

The Society has earmarked a budget to cover the costs involved with the lectures. Organizers of financial econometrics themed conferences can submit proposals for future events under the condition that SoFiE is listed as a co-sponsor for the lectures and approves the speakers.
