Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy Conference
Call for Papers/Proposals
Virtual Conference -- May 20, 2021
|
We are seeking papers or proposals for the third 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 20, 2021. If an in-person event
is not possible, the conference will take place online. 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.

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 submission 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 2-3 page abstracts outlining the
intended contribution, or a complete paper this is not submitted
elsewhere. Submissions are due by October 23rd, 2020, and can be uploaded at
http://www.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=EEPEs21
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 2021.
We look forward to hearing from you.
