Dear Academic Community,

The School of Business and Economics of the University of Chile (with the support of the Central Bank of Chile) is proud to organize the 2025 edition of the Santiago Finance Workshop (SFW), which will take place in person on December 9–10, 2025, in Santiago, Chile. The University of Chile is one of the most prestigious universities in Latin America. The workshop will bring together academics and policymakers worldwide to discuss new empirical and theoretical research on financial issues.

We are delighted to announce that our keynote speaker will be Prof. Markus Brunnermeier, Edwards S. Sanford Professor in the economics department at Princeton University and director of Princeton's Bendheim Center for Finance.

The nine previous editions of the workshop took place between 2015 and 2024. They sparked stimulating discussions and welcomed outstanding keynote speakers, including Prof. Victoria Ivashina, Prof. Philipp Schnabl, Prof. John Campbell, Prof. Ron Kaniel, Prof. Itay Goldstein, Prof. Toni M. Whited, Prof. Stefan Nagel, Prof. Andrew Karolyi, Prof. Franklin Allen, Prof. Michael Brennan, and Prof. Eduardo Schwartz.

We invite scholars and researchers to submit their research on any Finance or Financial Economics topic by September 05th, 2025, by emailing their paper to sfw@fen.uchile.cl with the subject line “Submission for consideration for SFW 2025”. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by September 26th, 2025.

The SFW’s Organizing Committee will cover airfare (economy class) and/or accommodation costs during the workshop for a limited number of participants who need and request funding. The funding request should be included in the email submission, specifying the type of support required (travel and/or accommodation). We expect participants to stay for the entire duration of the conference.
