Call for Papers - Review of Finance Special Issue on Sustainable Finance

Title: Sustainable Finance
Submission deadline:December 31, 2021
Submission via website

Sustainable finance is an increasingly important topic. Within companies, sustainability is no longer an ancillary issue confined to CSR departments, but a CEO-level issue fundamental to the core business. Within the investment industry, sustainability used to be the exclusive domain of “socially responsible investors” who had social as well as financial objectives, but is now mainstream, including among investors with purely financial goals. More broadly, the sustainability of business has a crucial impact on how it is viewed by wider society, including policymakers and citizens, including its social license to operate.

The submission window is from June 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. Authors should submit papers using the standard RF submission website and select “Special Issue on Sustainability” as the “Category of Submission” in Step 2.

Call for Papers - The Journal of Risk Research

Title: Risk Governance: Culture Matters!
Submission deadline: November 30, 2021
Submission via e-mail to martin.hiebl@uni-siegen.de

The Journal of Risk Research is pleased to announce a call for papers for its special issue on “Risk Governance: Culture Matters!” in association with the 9th Annual Conference on Risk Governance, held between 28 and 29 October 2021 at the University of Siegen, Germany.

The special issue is open to all types of research in terms of underlying methodology. Given the so-far limited evidence on the role of culture in risk management and risk governance, we particularly welcome empirical papers (based on quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods). Suitable topics include, but are not limited to the following:

cultural drivers of risk governance
cultural barriers to institutionalizing risk governance
risk culture as a precondition for risk governance
different degrees of participation in risk governance
risk governance and questions of organizational power
risk governance and questions of trust
the role of the tone from the top in shaping risk culture
social norms of risk culture and group behavior
cultural dynamics in risk culture
national culture as a determinant of risk governance
determinants of cultural effectiveness in risk culture

Research Grants provided by INQUIRE Europe

The Institute for Quantitative Research (INQUIRE) in Europe provides financial support for academic research projects with potential applications in the field of investment management. Several grants of €10,000 are awarded each year. Payments are made directly to the researcher, unless otherwise requested. Support of a research project by Inquire Europe does not in any way preclude subsequent publication of the paper in a journal of the researcher's choice. Completed papers may be invited for presentation at the INQUIRE's spring or fall Seminars. INQUIRE will pay the researcher's reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the seminar. More info on Inquire Europe, research grants that have been provided in the past, and on the application procedure, is available on INQUIRE’s website: www.inquire-europe.org.
