RAPS Call for Papers: COVID-19 and Financial Markets
The editors of the Review of Asset Pricing Studies invite submissions of papers related to the COVID-19 pandemic, financial markets, and asset pricing for a special issue that will be published in 2020. All subscribers to RAPS will receive the special issue at no extra cost. The issue will include an introduction by Lars Peter Hansen.
We seek impactful papers that will provide foundations for future financial COVID-19 research.
The deadline to submit papers is June 6, 2020. The submission fee will be waived. Submitted papers must be unpublished and not currently under review. Please submit your paper via our website, http://sfsraps.org/submit-a-paper/, and select the submission option “Special Issue.” You may select the payment waiver “Paper was “invited” (solicited for submission) by an editor.”
To achieve our goal of publishing a slate of impactful papers on financial markets, selection will be stringent and the desk rejection rate is likely to be high. As such, desk rejected papers for the special issue may be later resubmitted to RAPS for consideration without prejudice.
