Rune Stenbacka, from Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki agrees with Yossi Spiegel and says that the conference is excellent: "The invited researchers are selected with care and good judgment, and Vaxholm is a fine location."
13-14 June IFN arranged for the 13th consecutive year, a research conference with international invited guests. The purpose of these conferences is to bring together top researchers working on policy-oriented issues in industrial organization and corporate finance. This year's meeting was attended by economists from Sweden, Norway, Finland, Spain, USA, England, Germany, Italy and Israel. During the meeting a number of studies were presented and discussed. The topics varied from entrepreneurs' choice to engage in more or less risky R & D projects, to how transparency affects the tax burden and access to capital.
