| Journal of Financial Economics
(JFE) |
 |
The
Journal of Financial Economics began a new section containing
applied papers and case studies in 1989. This section provides
a high-quality professional outlet for scholarly studies of
actual cases, events or practice. Such phenomena provide a
rich source of data that illustrate or challenge accepted
theory and lead to new insights about the world. These studies
currently have few professional outlets, and with this section
The Journal of Financial Economics takes a leading role in
encouraging such work. Applications and case study papers
are often different in form, scope and content and can be
more conjectural. The papers deal with issues that are often
less quantifiable, more descriptive and normative than usual. |
| Papers that raise a
new question or pose an old one in an innovative way and papers
that test theories in specialized ways or document interesting
phenomena which are likely to stimulate new research are emphasized.
