Dual Submission Opportunity: The Journal of Financial Economics
http://www.fraconference.com
The program committee of the Financial Research Association seeks new finance papers of general interest to the profession for the 20th annual meeting of the Association. We favor early work, and do not accept papers previously presented the Western Finance Association meeting or the ASSA meeting. Unlike in prior years, we will consider papers scheduled to be presented at the upcoming ASSA meeting. The selection process is very competitive: last year's acceptance rate was less than 2%. Students are eligible for a reduced submission fee. All papers will be presented by a discussant, after which the authors will have an opportunity to respond. The meeting provides an excellent forum for authors to obtain detailed feedback from an accomplished and active group of finance scholars.
DUAL SUBMISSION OPTION: Submitting authors may opt to participate in the Dual Submission Option with The Journal of Financial Economics (JFE) at no additional charge. To be eligible for this option, papers must not have been previously rejected from JFE, or under consideration at another journal at the time of conference submission.
Dual-submitted papers will be reviewed for possible inclusion on the FRA conference program and for possible invitation to submit to the JFE. Authors will be informed of their dual submission status by early October. Invited authors may revise the paper before officially submitting through the JFE submission portal, but the manuscript must be submitted to JFE before January 15, 2025 to qualify under the dual submission.
The JFE recognizes that the FRA focuses on early papers and young scholars, and that scientific work develops over time. If the invited dual submission is eventually rejected at JFE, the paper may be submitted to JFE at a future date through the normal submission process.
If the dual submitted paper is not invited through this process, it can still be submitted to the JFE under the normal submission process at a later date without prejudice. That is, the JFE will not flag papers that are not invited through the dual submission process and will have no institutional memory of these papers.
BEST PAPER AWARD: The Financial Research Association will present the Best Paper Award, as selected by the conference attendees, regardless of research area. Authors of the winning paper will share a prize of $5,000. We will present a Best Discussant Award, which will be accompanied by a prize of $5,000.
MICHAEL J. BARCLAY AWARD: The Association will present the Michael J. Barclay Award to the young scholar who submits the best solo-authored paper. Young scholars include current PhD students and assistant professors who have held their PhD for less than three years.
PH.D. STUDENT TRAVEL GRANTS: The Association will provide up to three travel grants of $1,000 each for attending Ph.D. students. Submissions will be eligible if all authors are Ph.D. students.
PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE: Papers may be submitted at http://www.fraconference.com/submit/. There is no limit to the number of papers that one author may submit.
Submitting authors will be notified of paper selection in October. Once the program is set, the program committee will invite a limited number of participants to register for the meetings.
