Dear EEE Researchers --
This is a reminder about the call for papers for next year's conference and publication on Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy. Please see the call below. The deadline is Friday, and we welcome all submissions. We are also happy to discuss any ideas, if you are thinking about whether or not you have something that would be a good fit.

NBER Call for Papers / Proposals
3rd Annual NBER Environmental and Energy Policy and the Economy Conference
Dear Researchers,
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.
To view the contents of the first and second volumes, please click here:

https://www.nber.org/books-and-chapters/environmental-and-energy-policy-and-economy-volume-2
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
https://nam05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nber.org%2Fconfsubmit%2Fbackend%2Fcfp%3Fid%3DEEPEs21&data=02%7C01%7Cmatthew.kotchen%40yale.edu%7C834b174b634b4065284d08d85b3c9313%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C637359663012234924&sdata=JhfFagvnizmpnFMlJneFWPJBWH%2BPLekNv7e2e%2FYA3OM%3D&reserved=0
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.
