Use when deciding whether an empirical or theoretical finance manuscript fits the Journal of Banking & Finance (JBF) scope, especially banking, financial intermediation, financial institutions, capital markets, investments, corporate finance, or financial regulation.
When to use
- deciding if a finance paper fits JBF scope
- evaluating papers on banks, intermediaries, regulation, liquidity, credit, investments, or capital markets
- determining if a paper is strong enough for JBF or should be routed elsewhere
- assessing fit for bank capital, liquidity, risk-taking, supervision, or credit supply
- evaluating financial intermediation, shadow banking, fintech lending, or syndicated loans
- assessing market liquidity, trading, or asset pricing with institutional frictions
- evaluating corporate finance questions where banks or financing constraints are central
- assessing regulation or policy shocks with clear finance mechanisms
When not to use
- pure accounting, management, macro, or development papers where finance is only context
- asset-pricing factor papers with no JBF-specific institutional contribution
- country case studies without credible identification or generalizable finance insight
- routine event studies without an economic mechanism
- intermediation theory or structural banking models with tight mechanisms (better for JFI)
- systemic risk or macroprudential policy evaluation (better for JFS)
- monetary transmission through banks or macro-banking (better for JMCB)
- corporate finance where banks are peripheral (better for JCF)
