3RD ANNUAL CONFERENCE ON MARKET STRUCTURE
AND MARKET INTEGRITY
November 10th, 2008
Le Meridian King Edward Hotel,
Toronto, Ontario Canada
BEST PAPER PRIZE: $10,000.00
Regulators in Canada, the U.S. and Europe are addressing
critical market structure and market integrity issues at a
time when markets, and the entities that have traditionally
regulated them, are experiencing significant change.
Exchanges are merging, new trading markets are being
launched in Canada and around the world, and the self-
regulatory landscape is evolving with the creation of FINRA
and the proposed merger of the Investment Dealers
Association and Market Regulation Services.
The DeGroote School of Business at McMaster University and
Market Regulation Services Inc. are sponsoring a one-day
conference in Toronto, Canada on November 10, 2008 to
explore these and other current issues relating to market
structure and market integrity.
The conference will bring together leading international
academic researchers, regulators, industry professionals
and students to explore with their peers current issues,
trends, challenges and opportunities in market structure
and market integrity issues.
TOPICS:
The organizers invite submissions addressing any of the
following, or related, topics:
- The future of SRO regulation - how will the continuing
evolution of exchange ownership structures and
consolidation among markets affect the traditional models
of market integrity regulation?
- The regulation of short sales - what has been the impact
of the elimination of the tick test in the U.S.? Will
current regulatory initiatives address issues like double
voting?
- Investment research - what impact with the unbundling of
research and execution services have? How is research
being valued in the marketplace? How has the analyst
settlement changed the landscape?
- Best execution - will there be a harmonized and workable
definition in Canada, the U.S. and the UK?
- Trade-throughs - is there an empirical case for trade-
through rules? What has been the impact of their
implementation under Reg NMS? What direction will
Canadian regulators take?
- Access fees and market data - what can other
jurisdictions learn from the U.S. debate? Do Canadian
regulators need to address access fees and market data
arrangements?
- Debt and derivatives markets - how are market structure
and market integrity debates playing out in debt markets?
What explains existing levels of liquidity in Canada?
In addition to these themes, papers addressing other areas
of market structure and market integrity research are
welcomed. Papers may be conceptual, theoretical,
empirical, experimental or case studies, and will be
reviewed on a blind basis by members of the program
committee.
Authors of accepted papers will be responsible for paying
their own travel and accommodation expenses.
BEST PAPER AWARD - $10,000.00:
The program committee will select one paper presented at
the conference for a Best Paper Award of CDN$10,000.00
SPECIAL ISSUE -
Review of Quantitative Finance and Accounting:
Papers accepted for the conference are eligible for the
possible publication in a special issue of the Review of
Quantitative Finance and Accounting. In your submission,

the special issue. The papers selected for publication in

LAMFALUSSY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP
CALL FOR PROJECTS
The European Central Bank (ECB) is seeking applications from
promising young researchers for five Lamfalussy Fellowships
in 2008. The Lamfalussy Fellows programme was launched in
2003 in the context of the ECB-CFS Research Network on
"Capital Markets and Financial Integration in Europe". It is
aimed at promoting high-quality research on the structure,
integration and performance of the European financial system
(see www.eu-financial-system.org for further

Lamfalussy, the first President of the European Monetary
Institute. Each fellowship is endowed with an honorarium of
Euro 10,000.
RESEARCH PROJECTS:
The successful candidates will be required to write a
research paper during 2008 on one of the Network's priority
areas, namely:
(1) Financial systems as risk managers and risk

and the promotion of innovative firms;
(3) Financial modernization, governance, and the integration
of the European financial system in global capital
markets.
A short description of these research topics can be found on

CHAPMAN UNIVERSITY
Economic Science Institute (ESI)
Faculty Position in Economics
Chapman University and the Economic Science Institute (ESI)
at Chapman University seeks a tenure-track, full professor in
Economics for Fall 2008.
ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY:
Chapman University is a comprehensive, liberal arts based
university in Orange County of Southern California. The
Economics Science Institute at Chapman University begins full
operation in the Fall of 2008 with five professors including
John Dickhaut, Dave Porter, Steve Rassenti, Vernon Smith, and
Bart Wilson. When staffing is complete, we will have 7 full
time faculty, 2 visiting professors, 2 post docs, a research
project manager, and two professional programmers. We expect
to be involved with the further development of departments in
the George L. Argyros School of Business and Economics
including accounting, economics and finance as well as other
departments across the campus.
ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT:
ESI offers a unique opportunity for personal growth. Our
newly designed and constructed facilities will enable us to
continually sponsor visits for selected affiliated faculty to
form dialogues with existing researchers (and each other) at
Chapman. In all we are planning to have up to 100 affiliated
faculty. We will also offer large conferences and numerous
small spontaneous conferences to deal with emerging new ideas
and designs. We will have 2 laboratories located in the heart
of our beautiful campus, manned with extensive programming
support. Our facilities, staff, faculty and visitors, along
with a subject pool drawn from the greater Orange County
area, will provide a critical mechanism for reflecting on and
evaluating the major economic claims that can emerge in our
field.
The ESI consists of three broad sections of research and
teaching, each of which employs experimental economics:
Economic Systems Design, Neuroeconomics, and Economic Theory.
ESI is international in scope and interdisciplinary in the
reach of its content involving accounting, economics,
finance, MIS, engineering, psychology, neuroscience, computer
science and philosophy.
JOB DESCRIPTION:
The Chapman administration is committed to the idea that as
an Institute we not be an isolated unit but promote active
integration with other departments both from Chapman and
elsewhere. We are currently developing departmental liaisons
and possible associate and affiliate appointments for local
and international scholars.
In addition to the present full professor position advertised
here, in the coming months we plan to announce more positions
associated with ESI as well as the rest of the university.
We welcome applications from experimental economists and
related areas such as computational economics, the theory of
auctions, agent based modeling, economic systems,
evolutionary psychology, and economic history. We are open in
specifying fields because we believe that important sources
of inspiration in the future as in our own past are not
predictable. We simply seek the best people available to join
us in this incredible opportunity to explore economic science
and create a world class forum for the exchange of ideas at
Chapman.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE:
Applicants should send a cover letter, CV, and letters of
reference (by electronic submission if possible) to:
