jfm-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a question belongs at the Journal of Financial Markets (JFM) — i.e., whether it is genuinely about market microstructure / how markets trade rather than broad asset pricing or corporate finance. Scopes and reroutes; it does not invent evidence or citations.

When to use

• Deciding JFM vs. JF / JFE / RFS / JFQA
• Evaluating microstructure-grade datasets
• Assessing structural/macro asset-pricing results for microstructure cuts
• Triaging papers on trading, liquidity, prices, or order flow
• Checking if a contribution is a measurement or mechanism advance
• Evaluating papers exploiting exogenous market-structure changes
• Assessing microstructure theory papers
• Running desk-reject self-screens

When not to use

• Inventing evidence or citations
• Broad asset pricing without a trading mechanism
• Corporate finance stories without a microstructure cut
• Law-econ or banking regulation without market quality effects
• Institutional behavior without order-submission focus
• Fintech generalist topics without venue microstructure
• Pure theory with no market-observable implication
• Pure data-mining with no mechanism
