those that explore expanding topics in asset pricing, such as, investor heterogeneity,
learning and ambiguity, the real effects of financial markets, the impact of climate risk,
sustainability, and diversity on financial markets, and novel preference structures for
pricing models. Call for papers are now open and due February 16, 2024.
