Do you need a Visa to attend the EFA Annual Meeting in Bratislava? Slovak Republic is a Member State of the European Union (EU) and thus Member State of the Schengen Area. Generally, non-EU citizens need a Schengen visa to stay in the Slovak Republic. If you require an invitation letter for visa purposes, you can request one via email from EFA/National Bank of Slovakia. Please note that while this invitation letter may help facilitate the visa issuance process, it does not guarantee that your visa application will be approved. It is your responsibility to apply for a visa on time and provide any additional supporting documentation as required. If your visa application is declined, NBS/EFA cannot arrange for the issuance of your visa on your behalf. Please be aware that as the local organizer of the event, the National Bank of Slovakia is not obligated to issue an invitation letter if there is suspicion that visas may be misused for a purpose other than attending the conference. If you need an invitation letter to obtain a visa, please send your request to: efa2024@efa.nbs.sk. Please include your name and surname, type of passport, passport number, issuing country and expiration date of the passport.

New advance article (accepted manuscript) 'Attribute Misreporting and Appraisal Bias' by Mike Eriksen, Chun (KC) Kuang, Wenyu Zhu in Review of Finance, rfad041, https://lnkd.in/eawUDZWv Published: 28 June 2024 Abstract We assemble a property-level panel of appraiser-reported attributes associated with 4.6 million loan applications from 2013 to 2017 to test whether attributes were consistently reported. Appraisers have an incentive to misreport property attributes to justify higher appraised values to ensure associated mortgage loans are approved. We focus on property transactions with multiple sets of attributes reported by the same appraiser within 4 quarters and find evidence consistent with an intent to inflate valuations through attribute misreporting. We find that strategic misreporting of attributes is prevalent across markets, and that highly leveraged borrowers whose appraisals had inconsistently reported attributes were 9.8% more likely to become seriously delinquent in their loan payments.
