Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy

The first volume from last May's NBER meeting is forthcoming; see https://www.nber.org/books/kotc-1  Marvelously, the meetings and volumes will be ongoing annually.  See below for the 2020 CFP.  Note that submissions from non-NBER researchers are welcome.


NBER Call for Papers / Proposals
2nd Annual NBER Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy Conference

 
Dear Researchers,
 
We are seeking papers or proposals for the second annual NBER conference/publication on Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy. We will accept six papers for presentation at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on May 21, 2020. The audience will include the professional staffs of government agencies, research institutions, and NGOs focused on energy and environmental policy. The contributed papers will then be published in an annual volume by the University of Chicago Press.
 
To view last year?s agenda and papers for the forthcoming volume, please click 
HERE and HERE.
 
Papers should be relevant to current policy debates and accessible to a professional audience, yet following standard NBER protocol, they should avoid making policy recommendations. While standalone projects are specifically encouraged, we also welcome spinoff projects where authors intend to later submit a more extensive or technical version to a journal, or may have already done so. While no paper should be a duplicate of another paper, alternate versions that put results into a more general, policy relevant context and summarize them in more accessible language are encouraged. This is a great opportunity to communicate research to the policy community.
 
Submissions should be either complete papers or 2-3 page abstracts outlining the intended contribution. Submissions are due by October 14, 2019, and can be uploaded at
 
http://www.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=EEPEs20
 
Submissions from researchers who are not affiliated with the NBER, and from researchers who are from groups that have been historically under-represented in the economics profession, are welcome. The authors of each paper will share an $8,000 honorarium.
 
Decisions about accepted papers will be made by mid-November. Complete drafts of papers will be due in early April 2019.
 
We look forward to hearing from you.
