Call for Papers:

Risk Theory Society Annual Seminar

April 5 – 7, 2019

Culverhouse College of Business

University of Alabama

Tuscaloosa, AL

Submissions due December 15, 2018

The Risk Theory Society is a group of economists, financial economists, and actuaries

who undertake theoretical and applied research in the areas of insurance economics,

financial economics related to insurance markets, actuarial science, and more generally

in the economic analysis of risk and uncertainty. Membership in the society is earned

by presenting a paper at the annual seminar and forfeited by missing two consecutive

meetings.

The society invites interested parties to submit papers for the 2019 meeting. Each paper

accepted for the meeting is given one hour and fifteen minutes for presentation and

defense by the authors. The first twenty minutes of that time are reserved to be free of

interruption other than for questions of clarification. After the grace period, discussion

is typically vigorous.

Over the past 10 years, the number of submissions ranged from 42 to 69 with an average

of 50. Ten papers were selected each year. We accept submission of a five-page abstract.

Although most submissions and most accepted papers are likely to be in full draft

or essentially completed form, we actively encourage submission of work-in-progress

that would benefit from the typically robust discussions that take place during the RTS

Seminar.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Submissions are due on December 15, 2018. The

program committee will notify authors of accepted papers by end of January 2019, or

soon thereafter. Accepted papers must be completed and sent for posting on the Risk

Theory Society web page by March 1, 2019.

Submissions should be e-mailed as attachments in the Adobe Portable Document Format

(pdf) by December 15, 2018, to:
