Marc,
Thanks for the invitation. I shall attend. Vince Kaminski Enron Marc Epstein <epstein@rice.edu< (by way of Kathy Spradling <spradlin on 01/22/2001 03:41:13 PM To: (Recipient list suppressed) cc: Subject: Liz Demers research seminar Dear faculty Bob Westbrook and the accounting group has asked me to put together a continuing series of research workshops in accounting. My intention is to invite four or five researchers from around the country to present workshops on topics of interest each year. These are in addition to the normal recruiting seminars that we will have. The researchers will be a combination of senior and junior researchers. In addition to adding to our own research culture, the seminars should help promote the Jones School in the academic accounting community. My intention is to invite people that are doing very interesting work that will be of interest to a large portion of the faculty. Given the small size of the accounting group, success of the seminars is dependent in part on the participation of faculty from other disciplines. Our first seminar will be on February 16 from 10:30-12:00 and will be conducted by Elizabeth Demers, a Stanford PhD and presently an assistant professor at Rochester. Her paper is titled " A Rude Awakening: Internet Shakeout in 2000" and co-authored with Baruch Lev ( a senior accounting researcher at NYU). The work should be of particular interest to faculty in Finance and those interested in the valuation of internet companies and the value of intellectual capital and non financial information. I expect that it will be a very interesting seminar. Liz will arrive Thursday late afternoon and be here all day on Friday. I invite any of you who would like to meet with her or join us for a meal, to please let me know. I will appreciate it if you could plan on attending at least some of our seminars. I hope that the topics and presenters will be of interest. Thanks for your support. Marc Marc J.
