Overview<\/strong>
\nBaruch College and the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis are pleased to announce the call for papers for the 3rd Baruch-JFQA Climate Finance and Sustainability Conference.<\/p>\n

Building on the success of the past two conferences, we look forward to once again bringing together leading scholars from around the world to present original research and enrich the dialogue on climate finance and sustainability. For this year\u2019s program, we are especially interested in work that explores the intersection of politics and climate finance\u2014whether through political economy, policy uncertainty, or regulatory change\u2014given the central role these forces play in shaping the low-carbon transition. At the same time, we welcome submissions across the full spectrum of climate finance research, including work that is in the intersection of climate risk, disclosure, and real estate.<\/p>\n

We expect to accept 8-12 papers for the final program. The Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis will offer authors a dual-submission option, with no additional fee. In addition, papers co-authored by PhD students are eligible for consideration in the PhD poster session, providing an excellent opportunity for emerging scholars to showcase their work.<\/p>\n

Dual-Submission Process with JFQA
\nThe 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 November 15, 2025, 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.<\/p>\n

Authors must indicate if they are interested in having their papers considered under this dual-review option with the JFQA.
\n\u2022 Dual submissions will be reviewed by the conference organizers and will also be available for consideration by the JFQA.
\n\u2022 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.
\n\u2022 At the discretion of the JFQA, a small number of dual submissions will be sent out for a formal referee report.
\n\u2022 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.
\n\u2022 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.<\/p>\n
