Call for Papers:

Risk Theory Society Annual Seminar

May 5 – 7, 2017

University of Wisconsin

Madison, WI

Submissions due December 16, 2016

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 2017 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 51. Tenpapers were selected each year. Although we accept submission of a five-page

abstract, most submissions and most accepted papers were in full draft or essentially

completed form.

Submissions are due on December 16, 2016. The program committee will notify authors

of accepted papers by end of January 2017, or soon thereafter. Accepted papers must be

completed and sent for posting on the Risk Theory Society web page by March 1, 2017.

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