Call for papers
Special Issue: Impact Investing
The Journal of Sustainable Finance & Investment
The October 2012 issue of the Journal of Sustainable Finance & Investment will feature a special issue on Impact Investing. A subset of responsible investing, Impact Investing is defined as “investments intended to create positive impact beyond financial return” (JP Morgan Global Research, 2010). Here institutional investors look for ways to direct their investment in order to generate both financial returns and positive impacts on societal areas of broad concern. Impact Investing is critically important as communities struggle to recover from the current financial crisis that has severely limited access to capital so vital for their growth. Impact Investing seeks financial returns in combination with ancillary benefits such as brownfield redevelopment, urban revitalization, clean technology, sustainable energy, and affordable housing. Extending our understanding of the supply of capital to these community-based investments is critical both to engage institutional investors in this arena and in the development of the public policy frameworks required to stimulate such investment.
Scholars and practitioners are invited to submit full-length papers (6000-8000 words), shorter articles (of 1500 words) and book reviews for the special issue on impact investing to The Journal of Sustainable Finance & Investment. The journal is published by Earthscan, the world’s leading publisher on climate change, sustainable development and environmental technology, and belonging to the Routledge stable of academic journals. Journal website: www.earthscan.co.uk/journals/JSFI.
Date for submission of papers: November 2011
Date of announcement of editorial decision: February 2012
Date of publication: October 2012
Please direct all submissions and queries for the special issue to the Special Editor:
