The Paul Woolley Centres for Capital Market Dysfunctionality were established during 2006 as the result of generous grants made by Dr. Paul Woolley (ex-Chairman, GMO Europe). The centres are located at the London School of Economics, Toulouse University and the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS).
The UTS Centre is to hold its fourth annual conference on campus on Thursday 28 October and Friday 29 October, 2010. Attendance at the conference is limited to approximately100 people and invitations to attend are keenly sought by both academics and practitioners.
The keynote speaker for 2010 is Stephen Brown of NYU Stern with additional overseas speakers being drawn from other overseas universities including the other Paul Woolley Centres
Focus
We are seeking proposals to write papers on any topics that relate to the existence, causes, consequences, and mitigation of capital market dysfunctionality. Contributions focusing on retirement savings topics relevant to dysfunctionality would be particularly welcome.
