The conference runs over three days and includes plenary sessions with distinguished keynote speakers, break-out sessions, social events, a Business Forum, a special issue of the Journal of Banking and Finance, a session for PhD students, and other initiatives such as the Networking Women in Finance session that discusses gender initiatives in the field. This abstracting ejournal provides a data warehouse for all abstracts and papers presented at the Annual Conference. Abstracts of the papers will also be published in subject-specific ejournals within FEN and, where appropriate, in the ejournals of our sister networks.

The Shelf Project Joins LSN Law Research Centers Papers Series
We are pleased to announce that The Shelf Project has started a Law Research Centers Papers series in the Legal Scholarship Network (LSN).
THE SHELF PROJECT
View Papers: http://www.ssrn.com/link/Shelf-Project-RES.html
The proposal is made as a part of the Shelf Project, which is a collaboration among tax professionals to develop and perfect proposals to help Congress raise revenue. The current deficit, now at $1.6 trillion or 11.2 percent of GDP, cannot be sustained. In the impending revenue crisis, base-protecting revenue provisions that were not possible under ordinary politics become political necessities. Shelf projects defend the tax base and improve the rationality and efficiency of the tax system. Shelf Project proposals are intended to raise revenue without raising rates because the best tax systems have the broadest possible base to reach the lowest feasible tax rates.
