Decisions
We received 508 submissions; with only 60 presentation slots available, the program was highly selective, with an acceptance rate of 11.8%. As of September 15, decisions have been sent.
If you selected dual submission, you will receive a separate email from RAPS or RCFS. Because the dual submissions are sent to the journals after the conference decisions are made, the dual submissions decisions will be sent after the conference decision.
As of September 25, dual submission decisions have been sent for RAPS and RCFS.
Submitting Your Paper
-The submission period was June 11 to July 8, 2024.
-The submitted paper must not be accepted (or conditionally accepted) at a journal.
-Papers that have been presented (or are scheduled to be presented) at the WFA, AFA, and/or SFS Cavalcade North America are allowed.
-Authors of accepted papers are required to attend their session regardless of which day the session is scheduled; if an author can not make it to the scheduled time, the conference reserves the right to pull the paper.
Submission Fees
-The submission fee was $75.
-For papers in which ALL co-authors are doctoral students, the submission fee is waived. Make sure you select the student category to avoid paying the fee. You may click past any notes saying you need to pay before you submit; the note is standard in ConfTool and can’t be removed.
-The fee may be paid via PayPal, Stripe, or credit card. You do not need to create a PayPal account to pay via credit card; simply click past the “create an account” option to enter your credit card information.
-ConfTool requires you to pay the fee before you can submit your paper. If you are submitting multiple papers, ConfTool will ask you to pay all the fees at once, then upload each paper individually.
-There are no refunds.
Dual Submission Option with RAPS and RCFS
You have the option to elect dual submission to either the Review of Corporate Finance Studies or the Review of Asset Pricing Studies. If the journal you select decides not to send your paper out for review, the editor may refer your paper to the other journal, if appropriate, or to the Review of Financial Studies, for possible review. Thus, by selecting the dual submission option, you have implicitly agreed to be reviewed by any of the three SFS journals. Please see our Dual Submission Policy.
About the Cavalcade
The Cavalcade Asia-Pacific is a joint project of the Review of Financial Studies, the Review of Asset Pricing Studies, and the Review of Corporate Finance Studies. Our goal is to provide a setting that produces the kind of in-depth participation of a smaller conference, while accommodating the breadth of topics of a larger one. The format is 55 minutes per paper with several concurrent parallel sessions, covering all areas of finance.
