    EUROPEAN FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION 2013 Annual Conference June 26 – 29, 2013 ICMA Centre – Henley Business School, University of Reading Reading, UK Dear colleagues and friends of the European Financial Management Association (EFMA), On behalf of the ICMA Centre – Henley Business School of the University of Reading, I have the great pleasure, and privilege, to welcome you to Reading and the 22nd Annual Meeting of the EFMA. A very large number of high quality papers were received, making the refereeing process a very challenging task. All submitted papers were blindly reviewed by the outstanding members of the program committee from top academic institutions including: New York University, Harvard Business School, MIT, Stanford University, Wharton Business School, London Business School, Columbia University, INSEAD, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HEC Paris, University of Oxford, Yale School of Management, Cornell University and UCLA. To all of them, as well as to all who submitted papers, accepted to discuss them and to chair sessions, go my heartfelt thanks. The highly competitive refereeing process led to a selection of 252 papers. The program consists of 84 parallel sessions and 4 special sessions, with very renown academic specialists in each topic. The EFM “Merton H. Miller” Doctoral Seminar, sponsored by the EFM Journal, is an excellent outlet for PhD students to enhance their research skills through specific tutorials under the guidance of great academics. Professor Alex Edmans from Wharton Business School, University of Pennsylvania and Professor Tarun Ramadorai from Saïd Business School, University of Oxford are the Distinguished Doctoral Seminar Keynote Lecturers of the 2013 program.
