Dear Colleague,

We are happy to invite you to participate in the 2024 International Conference on Finance for the Common Good on August 8-10, 2024, in Dayton, OH. This conference is a collaboration between The Department of Economics & Finance at the University of Dayton and the University of Economics & Social Sciences in Warsaw, Poland. This conference seeks to encourage theoretical and empirical research highlighting the role of finance and capital markets on the well-being of society, in the spirit of the Catholic Social Tradition. The common good perspective emphasizes the need to develop financial systems that serve the broader interests and wellbeing of society, rather than just focusing on short term profits for a select few. It advocates for a more inclusive and socially responsible approach to finance, aligning financial activities with a sustainable future for individuals, families, communities, and nations. Sessions of this event will primarily take place at the Arcade Innovation Hub in Historic Downton Dayton, with a few online sessions.

AIMS & SCOPE

We welcome unpublished manuscripts and extended abstracts of studies focusing on how markets affect society and contribute to the common good in four tracks:
Track #1: Inequality and Inequity: studies about current financial systems and their role, or lack thereof, in reducing economic inequalities and inequities in the communities where these systems operate.
Track #2: Finance and Care for the Environment: studies about current financial systems and their role, or lack thereof, in directing funds towards dealing with the Global Climate Crisis and promoting sustained community development.
Track #3: Household Finance: studies about current financial systems and their role, or lack thereof, in fostering family stability and intergenerational wellbeing.
Track #4: Values Based Investing: studies about the role of ethics on portfolio choice and its impact, or lack thereof, on market quality and the well-being of the communities where these investments take place.
