Potential topics include: performance of hedge funds during the financial crisis, systemic risk, contagion, interactions between hedge funds activity and broad issues in economics, hedge fund activism, distressed debt, portfolio liquidation and liquidity, financial regulation, etc. But this list is not exhaustive.
The organization will cover accommodation for speakers. We also make available limited accommodation and travelling grants for doctoral students.

A (preliminary) version of the paper must be sent to traore@ensae.fr before the deadline.
Decisions will be communicated before October 31, 2010.
