Entering its 7th year, the Workshop on Financial Institutions Research, hosted at the St. Louis Fed, formally invites the submission of high quality, early stage working papers that focus on financial intermediation, debt contracting, and banking. We particularly invite early-stage researchers in accounting, economics and finance to submit empirical research that may have policymaking applications. As in years past, speakers will receive feedback from both academic participants as well as senior bank examiners from the Federal Reserve System and state regulatory agencies.

Please submit your manuscript using the following form by December 15, 2024: https://frbstlspra.gov1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eQV5Dwf2QdhVk6a

The workshop organizers and members of the research committee will review all submissions. We expect to announce the final program and send invitations by January 31, 2025.
