Dear Corporate Finance Program Members:
Below please find a call for papers that was sent out to the NBER
Public Economics program. I am sending it to this group because
there is special interest this year in empirical work on the effect
of corporate taxes on the full range of economic and financial
behaviors. If any of you are working in this area, I would be
pleased to hear about your work.
Please let me know if I can answer any questions about this conference.

Call for Papers
30th Annual NBER Tax Policy and the Economy Conference
September 24, 2015
National Press Club, Washington, D.C.
I am writing to encourage you to be part of the 30th annual Tax
Policy and the Economy conference, which will be held in Washington,
D.C. on Thursday, September 24, 2015. The TPE conference is the
NBER's signature event in Washington, and provides a terrific way to
expose the policy community - including the professional staffs at
Treasury, CBO, OMB, JCT, SSA, and related institutions - to your research.
In addition to papers on tax policy, this conference has a long
tradition of including research on areas related to public
expenditures, so nearly any topic in public economics may be
suitable. Papers should be policy relevant and accessible to the
audience, but should not make policy recommendations.
First drafts of conference papers will be due at the beginning of
July, with a final draft due in late August. The Tax Policy and the
Economy volume will be published by the University of Chicago Press
in early 2016.
A $6,000 per paper honorarium will be provided to the authors. There
will be a $75 per business day penalty for missing any of the
deadlines, the proceeds of which are redistributed among the authors
who are on time.
If you have a paper you would like to submit, please upload a copy
here by February 20:
http://www.nber.org/confsubmit/backend/cfp?id=TPE15.
The meeting has usually included only work by NBER authors, but if
there is a very interesting paper by a non-NBER researcher that might
be suitable for this meeting, I would appreciate your calling that to
my attention.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
