Use when working on a Journal of Financial Intermediation manuscript to stake the contribution against the banking and financial-intermediation frontier — name the closest intermediation papers and the precise mechanism gap you fill. It positions; it does not write a standalone survey.
When to use
- Writing or revising the introduction and related-work section for a JFI paper
- Clarifying contribution relative to existing intermediation work
- Positioning against the banking and financial-intermediation frontier
- Naming the two to four closest papers
- Stating the specific mechanism or margin added, changed, or overturned
- Distinguishing work from neighboring fields like pure asset pricing or corporate finance
- Positioning empirics or theory against canonical anchors and the working-paper frontier
When not to use
- Writing a standalone survey
- Creating a literature dump with no mechanism contrast
- Citing only general-finance landmarks while ignoring the intermediation sub-literature
- Claiming novelty without naming the closest paper improved upon
- Positioning against a field journal's question rather than an intermediation mechanism
