American Taxation Association

The 16th Journal of the American Taxation Association Conference will be held in conjunction with the ATA’s Midyear Meeting in Denver, CO, on February 19-20, 2010. Original papers addressing interesting and relevant tax issues will be considered for the conference. Papers submitted to the conference will not automatically be considered for publication in JATA. You are free to submit the paper to any journal. A paper under review (or being revised for resubmission) at another journal as of the conference submission deadline may not be submitted. Papers already submitted to JATA may be submitted to the conference.

All research methods (including, but not limited to, archival, analytical, behavioral, experimental, and field studies) will be considered. Contingent on suitable revisions in accordance with JATA’s normal review procedures, papers submitted to JATA and accepted for the conference will be published in a regular issue of the journal, along with discussants’ comments. Conference papers will be made available to conference participants in advance of the midyear meeting through the ATA web site. Papers submitted to JATA but not accepted for the conference will be treated as regular submissions to JATA. Authors will be notified of the conference selection decision by December 4, 2009.

Manuscripts being submitted to JATA should be prepared in conformance with JATA’s published preparation and style guidelines and submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF format. To preserve anonymity, the cover page should be submitted as a separate Word or PDF file. If the research uses experimental instruments, questionnaires, cases, etc., this material should also be submitted in a separate file. With the exception of the cover page, the identity of the author(s) should be deleted from the files. Files should be transmitted as email attachments to Professor Richard Sansing at JATA@tuck.dartmouth.edu. Please indicate in the email that the paper is being submitted for the Conference, and whether you are submitting the paper to JATA.

To be considered, papers must be received no later than October 2, 2009.
Contact Professor Sansing by email or phone (603.646.0392) if file compatibility or electronic submission presents a problem. The submission fee of $75 in U.S. funds should be paid by credit card following instructions provided on the AAA web site (http://aaahq.org/pubs/author.htm). The submission fee ia only required if the paper is to be considered for publication in JATA.
