finman-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a topic fits Financial Management (FM) and is worth aiming there — testing the question for general-interest finance relevance, topicality, and managerial/market payoff before the literature and design work begins. Sets the target; it does not run analysis or write the paper.

When to use

• deciding if a topic fits Financial Management
• testing general-interest finance relevance
• evaluating topicality of a finance question
• assessing managerial or market payoff
• determining if a topic is too niche for FM
• checking if a topic is dated or re-treading settled debates
• pressure-testing topics against FM subfield bars

When not to use

• running analysis
• writing the paper
• conducting literature review
• designing the study
