Conference Scope (http://www.netifc.com/)
New concepts, tools and methodologies to better understand financial theory and corporate policy:
Investment and financing decisions under uncertainty; real options and their applications;
globalization and innovations in real and financial markets; impact of global financial crisis; new
scientific applications in financial economics; corporate governance issues, modeling investment and
financing decisions, risk management, Basel II and III applications, value and wealth creation, Islamic
economics and finance and empirical testing. As well-known, it is important to develop new
mathematical tools and econometric approaches to investigate the changes in modern “financial
economics”. Operational research helps understanding several issues in financial economics. The
above features cover all issues about financial markets and real markets including emerging markets. It
is also fundamental to implement forecasting techniques for risk management, definition and
assessment of investment and financing decisions. Islamic banking and finance is also embedded as
one of the key issues.
A separate PhD Workshop will be organized. The first page must mention “Special Workshop”.
