Miltersen Startdato: Sluttdato: 2009 2009 Resultatsammendrag EUROPEAN FINANCE ASSOCIATION’s 36th ANNUAL MEETING European Finance Association’s (EFA) 36th Annual Meeting ble avholdt ved Norges Handelshøyskole (NHH) i Bergen fra 19. til 22. august 2009. EFA-konferansen er en sentral møteplass for forskere innen hele spekteret av finans og den viktigeste arenaen for presentasjon av nyere forskning innen feltet utenfor Nord-Amerika. EFA-konferansen arrangeres årlig, og arrangøransvaret går på omgang blant europeiske universiteter og handelshøyskoler. Papers Interessen for å presentere papers ved EFA-konferansen er generelt stor. Ved tidsfristen i februar 2009 ble det sendt inn totalt 1.210 papers til konferansen. Som vanlig for European Association’s Annual Meetings stilles det strenge kvalitetskrav, og kun 229 papers ble til slutt akseptert for presentasjon i parallelle sesjoner under konferansen dette året. Vedlagt ligger en oversikt som viser aksepterte papers i forhold til insitusjonstilhørighet og nasjonalitet ved EFA2008, EFA2009 og EFA2010. Deltakere Konferansen hadde til sammen 487 deltakere. Antall deltakere var dermed på samme nivå som ved tidligere EFA-konferanser. Deltakerne var i hovedsak akademikere, primært fra europeiske og nordamerikanske institusjoner. I underkant av 10 prosent av deltakerne var internasjonale og lokale næringslivsaktører. Selv om denne prosentandelen er lav er den likevel noe høyere enn det som har vært vanlig ved tidligere EFA-konferanser. Deltakerliste er vedlagt. Program EFA 2009 var organisert i åtte parallelle ”tracks” med 72 sesjoner. 11 av sesjonene var såkalte spesielle, tematiske sesjoner. Hver sesjon bestod av tre paperpresentasjoner og tilsvarende antall opponentpresentasjoner. I tillegg var det en plenumssesjon med foredrag av hovedforeleser, professor Richard Roll fra UCLA (University of California, UCLA). Konferanseprogrammet er vedlagt. Regnskap Budsjettet til EFA2009 var på rundt 2.900.000. Regnskapet viser ingen vesentlige avvik fra budsjettet. Inntektene består i hovedsak av deltakeravgift og sponsorinntekter. Andre inntekter er knyttet til innsendingsavgift på papers og avgift på deltakelse ved konferansemiddagen. Når det gjelder sponsorinntekter utgjør støtten fra Finansmarkedsfondet og Norges Forskningsråd i underkant av halvparten. NHHs bidrag utgjør kr 100.000. Den resternde delen kommer fra lokale, nasjonale og internasjonale næringslivsaktører som Skagen Fondene, Den europeiske sentralbank, Argentum Fondsinvesteringer AS, Viz Risk Management Service AS, LECG, Commonfund, Nasdaq/Omx og Goldman Sachs. Den største kostnadsposten er knyttet til mat (lunsj, pausemat, konferansemiddag) som til sammen utgjør 665.000. Deretter følger arrangmenttekniske og administrative kostnader på 630.000. I deltakerinntektene ligger en medlemsskapsavgift som ble trukket ut og betalt til EFA sentralt. Den ugjør rundt kr 550.000 i regnskapet. Resten av kostnadene er knyttet til web- og design, konferansebyrå, transport, priser, reisekostnader til hovedforeleser med mer. Regnskapet er vedlagt sammen med en kortfattet rapport på engelsk. Målsetninger og resultat Da NHH fikk tildelt arrangøransvaret for en så stor og viktig konferanse var det en viktig målsetning at bieffekten skulle være å øke den internasjonale anseelsen til det akademiske finansmiljøet i Norge og til NHH. Det var også viktig å bruke konferansen til å styrke det gjensidige forholdet mellom akademia og næringslivet lokalt, nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Det er vanskelig å måle endringer i den internasjonale anseelsen til det akademiske finansmiljøet i Norge og til NHH. Likevel ser det ut til at EFA 2009 har bidratt til å øke kjennskapen og interessen for NHH internasjonalt. Institutt for foretaksøkonomi som var ansvarlig for konferansen ved NHH, rekrutterer årlig Assistant Professors fra det internasjonale jobbmarkedet for nyutdannete PhD-studenter. Dette jobbmarkedet settes opp i forbindelse med den årlige konferansen til American Finance Association (AFA), og jobbsøkerne kommer i hovedsak fra anerkjente institusjoner i Nord-Amerika og Europa. Under rekrutteringsrunden i 2010 viste rundt 120 internasjonale nyutdannede PhD-studenter interesse for NHH. Det er en øking på nærmere 35% i forhold til tidligere år. De fleste søkerne begrunnet sin interesse for NHH ved å vise til EFA-konferansen. I noen tilfeller hadde de selv deltatt ved konferansen. I andre tilfeller var det veilederene deres som hadde deltatt og nå anbefalte NHH som kommende arbeidsplass for sine studenter. Når det gjelder forholdet til næringslivet har EFA sentralt lenge hatt et langsiktig samarbeid med internasjonale næringsaktører som Den europeiske sentralbanken, LECG og Commonfund. For EFA2009 utvidet vi samarbeidet til også å inkludere nasjonale og lokale aktører som Skagen Fondene, Argentum Fondsinvesteringer AS og Viz Risk Management Service AS. Foredraget til Professor Richard Roll samt presentasjonene ved de spesielle sesjonene tok opp aktuelle temaer som var særlige anvendbare også for næringslivsaktører. De spesielle sesjonene ble utviklet i nært samarbeid med Den europeiske sentralbak og med lokale næringslivsaktører som Argentum Fondsinvesteringer AS og Viz Risk Management Sevices AS. Samarbeidet med disse aktørene medvirket til å gjøre konferanseprogrammet tetter knyttet opp til næringslivsrelaterte problemstillinger. At konferansen lyktes i å belyse næringslivsrelaterte problemstillinger kom også til uttrykk i presseomtalen og mediedekningen av konfreansen. NRK, TV2, Dagens Næringsliv og The tables below provide summary statistics on accepted research papers since year 2008. Absolute points are calculated as follows: Each paper’s affiliation is weighted by one over the number of authors (each paper equals one point).

It should be read by all who are deeply concerned with sustainable business.” —R. Edward Freeman, University Professor, The Darden School, University of Virginia “The sustainable business agenda is mainstreaming at last, a process that coin- cides with the evolution and deployment of radically different mindsets, tech- nologies and business models. Entire industries and economies will be disrupted. In RESTART, Sveinung Jørgensen and Lars Jacob Tynes Pedersen indicate where this grand convergence is now headed—and explain how business leaders and their organisations can help drive the necessary system change.

In a fast-changing business world, candidates from BI are still preferred in the labor market. This is the ultimate testimony to the quality and relevance of our programmes. Not least, it is a great compliment to our talented and hardworking students and alumni. We have managed to recruit talented students and faculty from Norway and abroad. A record number of applicants and new students last fall serves as proof. We also managed to gain traction within research and academic achievements. BI faculty continue to demonstrate that this is an institution with impact on the international research arena. As we round off 2015, it is time to recognize that these achievements are results of long-term efforts. Now, all our attention is directed at wat lies ahead in the years to come. We will continue to make clear priorities that take us ever closer to our overall goal: to build the knowledge economy.

Millions of people have found themselves in limbo having been displaced from their homes, and Mhaissen is campaigning for their right to be able to shape their own lives and be treated with respect. The prize also recognised her work to highlight the lack of legal protection for the more than 70 million people across the world who are currently living as refugees.
