Discussion papers

About the series

Discussion Papers are often the first version of a paper, which will later be published in refereed journals etc. They provide an avenue for the emerging work of CARR staff, associates, visitors or invited speakers and are usually written at the closing stages of a piece of research. However, CARR has a strict policy of not publishing papers that will be appearing in an identical manner as articles in other publications.

Submissions

Authors are welcome to submit to the series. An initial email outlining the proposed paper should be sent to risk@lse.ac.uk|. It will be forwarded to the CARR management committee for consideration.
