Description
Call for Papers for the Baruch-JFQA Climate Finance and Sustainability Conference
Sponsors: Baruch College and the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis.
Venue and date: Baruch College, New York. March 6-7, 2025.
Submission Deadline: December 10, 2024
Overview
The intersection of climate change, sustainability, and financial markets is an area of increasing concern. As the impacts of climate change become more evident, there is growing interest in understanding both the impact of climate change on financial markets and the critical role finance can play in addressing this challenge.
Baruch College and the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis are pleased to announce the call for papers for the Baruch-JFQA Climate Finance and Sustainability Conference.
The conference aims to bring together top scholars worldwide to present original academic research and contribute to the ongoing discourse on climate finance and sustainability. We welcome submissions from all related areas in finance, accounting, and real estate, including but not limited to the following topics: climate finance, ESG, corporate sustainability, climate risk, climate-related regulation, green innovations, and renewable energy.
In addition, papers co-authored by PhD students are eligible for consideration in the PhD poster session, providing an opportunity for emerging scholars to showcase their work.
Keynote speakers
Kai Li, Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, Canada Research Chair in Corporate Governance and W. Maurice Young Endowed Chair in Finance, University of British Columbia. Managing Editor of the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis.
Johannes Stroebel, David S. Loeb Professor of Finance, New York University. Director, Climate Finance Initiative
Organizers
Lin Peng, Dexin Zhou, and Svenja Dube, Baruch College.
Submission Deadline and Notification
Please submit your papers by December 10, 2024. The papers will be evaluated by members of the program committee, and accepted authors will be notified by mid-January 2025.
Dual-Submission Process with JFQA
The Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis offers authors a dual submission option, sponsored by the Managing Editors Ran Duchin and Kai Li, by the same deadline of December 10, 2024, with no additional fee. The authors are encouraged to choose to submit to both the conference and JFQA but can also choose to submit to the conference program only. The JFQA is committed to a fast turnaround, and the accepted papers will be published in a curated collection of papers with the same theme.
Authors must indicate if they are interested in having their papers considered under this dual-review option with the JFQA.
• Dual submissions will be reviewed by the conference organizers and will also be available for consideration by the JFQA.
• Papers submitted for dual consideration must not be under review at another journal or the JFQA, nor can they be considered for dual submission if previously rejected by the JFQA.
• At the discretion of the JFQA, a small number of dual submissions will be sent out for a formal referee report.
• Papers rejected at any stage of the dual-review process are not considered to have been "rejected" by the JFQA. Thus, authors are permitted to submit a future version of their paper to the JFQA without prejudice.
• Papers submitted under the dual-submission process may not be submitted to another journal (or the JFQA) until the author has been notified of the outcome of the dual-submission process.
