The Department of Finance and the Department of Accounting and Information Systems at the Eli Broad College of Business, Michigan State University are pleased to host the 35th Conference on Financial Economics and Accounting (CFEA) on November 6-8, 2025.
CFEA 2025 (November 6-8, 2025)
CFEA is a highly selective annual conference organized by members of a consortium representing nine universities: Georgia State University, Indiana University, Michigan State University, New York University, Rutgers University, Temple University, Tulane University, University at Buffalo, and University of Toronto.
CFEA convenes scholars in Financial Economics and Accounting to share their research relevant to both theory and practice of business, with a special focus on the intersection of the two fields of research. To that end, CFEA invites high-quality theoretical and empirical contributions in Accounting, Economics, Financial Economics, and other related disciplines.
CFEA welcomes and encourages attendance by academics, practitioners, PhD students, and others.
