Use when working on Journal of Financial Intermediation (JFI) manuscripts to test whether the paper is centrally about banking and financial intermediation — whether an intermediary mechanism is load-bearing, how it differs from a Journal of Banking and Finance fit, and whether to lead with theory or empirics — before investing in the draft.
When to use
- Deciding whether a project fits the Journal of Financial Intermediation
- Choosing whether the paper's spine is a model or an empirical design
- Testing if an intermediary or financial-institution mechanism is first-order
- Differentiating fit from the Journal of Banking and Finance
- Rescuing borderline verdicts by finding intermediation predictions
- Determining if a paper is theory-led or empirics-led
When not to use
- Pure asset-pricing results
- Corporate-finance studies where banks are just a control
- Macro papers with no institutional channel
- Broad empirical banking without testing an intermediation mechanism
- Institutional documentation or cross-country performance without mechanism testing
