Call for Papers

Risk Theory Society Annual Seminar

April 20–22, 2018

Georgia State University

Atlanta, Georgia

Submissions due December 15, 2017

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 2018 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. 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.

PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Submissions are due on December 15, 2017. The

program committee will notify authors of accepted papers by end of January 2018, or

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

Theory Society web page by March 1, 2018.

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

(pdf) by December 15, 2017, to:
