The 5th Chinese Capital Markets Conference
July 16-17, 2015
European Journal of Finance special issue
Asper Business School, the University of Manitoba
Winnipeg, Canada
Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Jay R. Ritter, University of Florida
Organisers and Guest Editors:

Wenxuan Hou, University of Edinburgh Business School, UK
Zhenyu Wu, University of Manitoba Asper Business School, Canada
Overview:
As an increasingly influential emerging country, China is aspiring to become one of the largest economies in the world. China’s impressive economic success so far is attracting the attention of academics, practitioners, and policy makers worldwide. The capital market is set to play a crucial role in China's development since the efficient allocation of financial resources is a key determinant of economic growth. Due to its unique institutional environment, China offers interesting research settings that are not available in Western developed economies and therefore provide new insights for the finance and accounting literature. The experience and challenges of the development of China’s capital market also have valuable policy implications for other emerging economies.
Following the success of the previous four successful conferences, the organizing committee will host the 5th Chinese Capital Markets Conference with The European Journal of Finance publishing a special issue of selected articles. The conference will be held in Winnipeg, Canada and is sponsored by the Canada Research Chair Program and the University of Manitoba. The committee invites submissions of high-quality and unpublished empirical research papers addressing contemporary issues related to the Chinese capital markets. Possible research areas include, but are not limited to: corporate finance, asset pricing and valuation, corporate governance, entrepreneurial finance, and market-based accounting research. We also welcome studies of other regions of Greater China (e.g. Hong Kong and Taiwan) as well as studies of other large emerging economies in the BRIC group (e.g. Brazil, Russia, and India) with implications for China. Studies on both publicly listed and privately held companies will be considered.

About the City:
Winnipeg is the capital and largest city of the province of Manitoba, as well as the 2010 Culture Capital of Canada. Locating near the longitudinal center of North America, Winnipeg is not only a railway and transportation hub with a diversified economy, but also a city with a deep accumulation of history. In Winnipeg, people can experience world-class arts and celebrate a wide array of events such as concerts, parades, and fireworks. Examples of famous festivals hosted in Winnipeg are the Festival du Voyageur, the Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Jazz Winnipeg Festival, the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival, and Folklorama.
More than just city life, Winnipeg also offers great outdoors. For instance, the sandy shoreline at Winnipeg Beach, where many exciting events are held each summer, is one of the best choices. Two helpful links are http://www.gov.mb.ca/conservation/parks/popular_parks/central/winnipeg.html, and http://www.winnipegbeach.ca/ . In addition, visiting the Lake of Woods area is another good choice, and more information can be found at http://lakeofthewoods.com/ .
