Interactive Finance Conference Ranking

Rank the major finance conferences by the share of presented papers later published in a journal set you choose — in the same spirit as Hou, Smajlbegović & Urban (2025, Journal of Empirical Finance 84, 101652). A presented paper is counted as published when it can be linked to a journal article — by matching paper titles and author names, and corroborating with the acknowledgement footnotes in which authors thank the conferences where the work was presented (see How it works for the full method). All computation runs in your browser.

Robustness across matching methods

Is the ranking an artefact of how papers are matched to publications? Adding the matching procedures one at a time — from identical-title matches only, through strong title/author matches, acknowledgement-verified matches, to all matches (the procedures are described under How it works) — leaves the order largely unchanged: roughly parallel, non-crossing lines mean the ranking is stable regardless of which matching methods are used.

Institutions explorer BETA — work in progress

Build a top-institutions list for any set of conferences and any year range — pick conferences, set the years, and the ranking updates live. Presenter-affiliation appearances on collected programs; a multi-authored paper contributes several, so this approximates attendance, not unique people. Unlike the publication-based ranking above, this panel is still work in progress: affiliation coverage varies by conference and year (many programs print no affiliations, and posters are not tracked), so counts are lower bounds and will be refined. Corrections from organizers are very welcome.

Launch-pads & destinations

Pick a conference: where the papers shown there had appeared earlier on the circuit (its feeders) and where they went next (its destinations), with how many papers and the typical lead time. “Earlier / later” is position on the circuit, not a causal effect on the paper.

Descriptive statistics

Number of papers by conference and year. All figures are aggregates (no per-paper data).

Conference size & year coverage — click to expand

Papers per conference per year (blank = no program found for that year; darker = larger; italic* = small sample, fewer than 10 papers, so that year's rate is unreliable).
