The Tenth Annual Young Scholars Finance Consortium, organized by the Adam C. Sinn ’00 Department of Finance at Texas A&M University, will be held in College Station, Texas from March 19 to March 21, 2026. The goal of this annual conference is to provide promising junior finance faculty and PhD students with an opportunity to present their research and receive feedback from a select group of accomplished scholars.

We are pleased to have Professor Lauren H. Cohen, the L.E. Simmons Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, as our keynote speaker.

The conference theme alternates annually between asset pricing/investments and corporate finance/financial intermediation. The theme for 2026 is asset pricing/investments.

We invite advanced PhD students and untenured faculty, who received their first full-time faculty appointment within the last eight years, to submit both theoretical and empirical papers to the conference.

Submissions may include senior co-authors, though only PhD students and eligible junior faculty are eligible to present.
