Published: July 11, 2023

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the Office of Financial Research (OFR) announced a call for papers for its 2023 PhD Symposium. The event is scheduled for Friday, October 27, in Washington, D.C.

The PhD Symposium is an opportunity for upper-year PhD candidates to receive constructive feedback on their work from economists and other subject matter experts at the OFR and other Financial Stability Oversight Council member agencies. Consistent with the OFR’s mission, the Office will only consider papers that are on topics related to financial stability. The OFR will only accept papers from authors who are students currently enrolled in a U.S. PhD program.

The OFR will send acceptance notices and invitations to attend the Symposium to selected authors in early September. Authors may email any other questions regarding the call for papers or the conference to PhD_Symposium@ofr.treasury.gov.
