Conference Structure. About 12 papers will be accepted for presentation in plenary sessions over a day and one–half.

Previous conference attendees visited working oil rigs and the oil transport and storage facilities at Cushing, Oklahoma. Cushing is the pricing hub of the NYMEX WTI crude oil futures contract.

Paper Submissions: Electronic submissions of unpublished papers can be made via the conference website: http://www.ou.edu/content/price/finance/energyfinanceconf.html. The deadline for submissions is November 30, 2021, and authors will be notified by February 10, 2022. We expect the selection process to be highly competitive.

Review of Financial Studies Combined Submission Option: At the authors’ option, papers submitted to the conference will, in addition, be considered for publication at the RFS free of charge. The rules for the dual submission process are as follows:

  1. Authors must expressly indicate interest in consideration by the RFS.
  2. At the discretion of the RFS Sponsoring Editor (Stefano Giglio), a small number of dual submissions will be invited to submit to the RFS. The RFS will waive the fee on such submissions, and have the submission formally reviewed. In these cases, authors will receive a copy of the RFS reviewer report(s).
  3. Papers submitted for dual consideration must not be under review at another journal or the RFS, nor can they be considered for dual submission if previously rejected by the RFS. Moreover, papers cannot be submitted for dual consideration if they are simultaneously under dual consideration at another journal sponsored by the Society for Financial Studies.
  4. In the event that a dual submission that has been invited to submit to the RFS is subsequently rejected, its authors have the option to submit a future version of their paper to the RFS without prejudice.
  5. While under consideration as a dual submission by the Energy and Climate Finance Research Conference and the RFS, a paper may not be submitted to another journal (or the RFS) until the author has been notified of the dual submission outcome.
