The 9th Energy Finance Conference

The Asia-Pacific Applied Economics Association and the Xian University of Technology are jointly organising the 9th Energy Finance conference. The conference will be held on September 08-09, 2023. The aim of the conference is to present and discuss frontier research in all areas of finance related to energy markets, environment and green finance. Given the increasing role played by China in the global energy market, the conference also welcomes papers specifically on China; these papers, however, must have implications for other economies.
