Finance for the Common Good
2024 International Conference on Finance for the Common Good
Dear Colleagues,
We are happy to invite you to participate in the first 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 that highlights 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 well-being 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.
