What do Finance Professors talk about at conferences?

Here are a few links to a series of posts by FinanceProfessor which provide nice little summaries of some papers that he found interesting at the recent Financial Management Association conference in New York.   They provide a nice insight into some of the current research topics and also go some way to answering the question "so what do Finance academics do research on?"

First list here, part 2 here, part 3, part 4 and part 5

Good stuff.
