Welcome to the Virtual Municipal Finance Workshop! The purpose of this workshop is to bring together junior and seasoned academics and practitioners to present and discuss research on contemporary issues in municipal finance, a fast-growing subfield of finance which tackles important issues for local governments and “main street” investors.

Each workshop presentation will take place on Wednesday between 11:00am to 12:00pm ET. For Spring 2025, there will be two presentations per session on a similar subtopic in municipal finance. The schedule of presentations is provided on the "Schedule" tab of this site. You can find a link to each workshop paper by clicking on the title of the paper (unless otherwise noted). The presenter of each paper is indicated in bold. Participants can access the virtual Zoom session using the “Zoom Link” provided for each week.
