  • The Journal of Economic Asymmetries

    • ISSN: 1703-4949
    The journal aims to publish scholarly articles on economic, financial, technological and legal asymmetries within and among markets in an increasingly globalized world.Asymmetries are broadly interpreted as economic relationships between trading partners with unequal market power and also in the narrow technical sense of dissimilar information between trading agents.Asymmetries also may arise in cases of economic, financial or currency crises. The wide range of dissimilar policy recommendations in such cases may also reflect asymmetric policy responses.Closely related to international economic asymmetries, one may find economic, legal and technological conditions differing from one economy to another because of the size of countries, their institutions and their history. Acknowledging and investigating such differences is also a concern of the journal.The recent global financial crisis has created numerous economic asymmetries. Topics of interest include: sovereign debt, banking fragility, corporate deleveraging, asymmetries in macro-prudential regulation between countries with high and low developed financial markets, persistent high unemployment, challenges in the conduct of appropriate monetary and fiscal policies, national versus supranational regulatory systems, consequences of the Euro-zone financial crisis, the future of the euro, global monetary and fiscal stability, strategies to stop the immense increases in fiscal deficits and to regain fiscal stability, regulatory systems limiting world-wide contagion effects, regulatory measures to increase the soundness of the banks' balance sheets and to supervise financial transactions between globalised banks, multiple equilibria in financial markets, wealth volatility, the behavior of commodity markets and changes in leading currency markets. Ethical, behavioral and political dimensions of crises are also included.Volumes 1 through 9 are available on line at http://www.apforum.o...

  • Pacific-Basin Finance Journal

    • ISSN: 0927-538X
    The Pacific-Basin Finance Journal (PBFJ) aims to provide a specialized forum for the publication of reliable academic research on capital markets within the Asia-Pacific region (but excluding papers that only use US data). Primary emphasis is placed on the highest quality empirical investigations that focus on research questions in the broad realm of financial economics, addressing mainstream contemporary topics relevant to e.g., investments, asset pricing, corporate finance, financial decision-making.Furt... we generally seek to encourage researchers to engage in topics that produce more "useful" research i.e., to produce research that goes meaningfully beyond narrow academic impact. Most notably, such useful research addresses the challenge of solving important and enduring issues of critical relevance to real-world financial problems and/or practical impediments inhibiting optimal decision-making by key stakeholders operating in financial markets.Moreover, PBFJ strongly welcomes submissions that embrace the principles of "responsible science", reflected in three foundational pillars:Credible/rel... research;Useful/rele... research; andIndependent/unbia... researchTo this end, while we continue to invite the submission of the traditional form of original and completed full-study research manuscripts, we also offer an alternative "pre-registration" pathway to publication as detailed in the PBFJ Editorial Note (accessible using the link below):https://www.s... by this form of innovative publication, the editors of PBFJ will exercise best efforts to publish well-executed bold and exciting research, irrespective of whether or not it produces statistically significant and/or positive findings. In other words, the editors of PBFJ believe that it is critical we take a conscious stand against publication bias in order to responsibly service our scientific community.

  • Research in Economics

    • ISSN: 1090-9443
    Established in 1947, Research in Economics is one of the oldest general-interest economics journals in the world and the main one among those based in Italy. The purpose of the journal is to select original theoretical and empirical articles that will have high impact on the debate in the social sciences; since 1947, it has published important research contributions on a wide range of topics.A summary of our editorial policy is this: the editors make a preliminary assessment of whether the results of a paper, if correct, are worth publishing. If so one of the associate editors reviews the paper: from the reviewer we expect to learn if the paper is understandable and coherent and - within reasonable bounds - the results are correct.We believe that long lags in publication and multiple demands for revision simply slow scientific progress. Our goal is to provide you a definitive answer within one month of submission. We give the editors one week to judge the overall contribution and if acceptable send your paper to an associate editor. We expect the associate editor to provide a more detailed evaluation within three weeks so that the editors can make a final decision before the month expires.In the (rare) case of a revision we allow four months and in the case of conditional acceptance we allow two months to submit the final version. In both cases we expect a cover letter explaining how you met the requirements. For conditional acceptance the editors will verify that the requirements were met. In the case of revision the original associate editor will do so. If the revision cannot be at least conditionally accepted it is rejected: there is no second revision.

  • Journal of Development Economics

    • ISSN: 0304-3878
    The Journal of Development Economics publishes original research papers relating to all aspects of economic development - from immediate policy concerns to structural problems of underdevelopment. The emphasis is on quantitative or analytical work, which is novel and relevant. The Journal does not publish book reviews. We welcome papers that take up questions in development economics that are of interest to the general readers of the journal, and then use data from a particular country or region to answer them. However, we do not publish articles that are essentially in-depth studies of a specific country, region, case, or event whose findings are unlikely to be of great interest to the general readers of the journal. In our review process we pre-screen all papers, some of which are immediately rejected. This includes papers that are not considered to be a good fit in terms of the topic or the methodology even though development is a broad field and sometimes this is a matter of subjective judgment. This also includes papers that fall short of our high standards, in terms of the contribution or value added to the literature, or in terms of methodological rigor. The Journal receives approx. 1300 papers per year and publishes only a small fraction (around 6-8%). To make this work in a timely fashion we only send 1/4 papers out for review. Given this volume we regret that we cannot provide explanations on our desk reject papers. Under normal circumstances, an author cannot submit (either s/he directly or through a co-author) more than three papers within any 12 month period. Papers that are once rejected by the JDE will not be considered for publication again, even if the authors use a new dataset or a new model. This is only possible if the editor in his or her decision letter explicitly leaves open this possibility. Special submissions:Register... Reports: The JDE offers authors the opportunity to have their prospective empirical projects reviewed and approved for publication before the results are known (referred to as 'Registered Reports'). This pre-results review track may be particularly suitable for authors working on research projects for which they have not yet collected or accessed data. Submissions in this track will follow existing policies outlined in the Author Information Pack, including the Mandatory Replication Policy, but specific information is available in the JDE Registered Reports Author Guidelines. A website including the Guidelines and information on Phase 1 acceptances to data is available here. To submit a Registered Report, select "Registered Report Stage I: Proposal" as the article type in the submission portal. "Registered Report Stage II: Full Article" should only be used for articles derived from accepted Stage I submissions.Short Papers: The JDE offers the authors a short-paper limited revision track. Submission guidelines follow AER: Insights. Manuscripts should be at most 6,000 words, with at most 5 exhibits (tables or figures). Online appendices of at most 20 pages are permitted, but manuscripts must be self-contained. Submissions will be desk rejected, rejected after review, or conditionally accepted. Decisions on refereed manuscripts generally occur within 6-8 weeks of initial submission, faster than for standard-length papers.To submit a short-format manuscript, select "Short Paper" as the article type in the submission portal. In addition to the direct submission process, the editors will also monitor standard-format rejections to identify manuscripts that would meet the journal's standards if they were rewritten in short format. In such cases, informed by the referee reports on the original standard-format submission, the Insights Co-editor will invite a new submission of the manuscript in short form, with a commitment to publish without further review if the authors follow a clear set of revision instructions.

  • Global Finance Journal

    • ISSN: 1044-0283
    The Global Finance Journal publishes high quality original research in financial economics with a focus on global financial markets, international financial systems, and financial mechanisms with cross border relevance. The journal seeks contributions that advance understanding of how individuals, firms and financial markets operate in an increasingly integrated global economy.The journal welcomes research addressing important questions in financial economics, including the valuation of financial assets, corporate financial decisions, the functioning of financial institutions and markets, and the transmission of risk and capital across countries and regions.Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:Asset pricing and global cost of capital Corporate finance, capital structure, payout policy, mergers and acquisitionsBanking, financial intermediation, and central bankingCredit markets and fixed income securitiesInternatio... finance, exchange rates, and capital flowsFinancial market regulation and systemic stabilityRisk management, derivatives, and hedgingMarket microstructure and trading dynamicsEnergy, commodities, and real estate financeFinancial innovation, digital finance, and fintechBehavioral and experimental financeSustainable and climate related financeInstitutional investors and global asset allocationThe journal welcomes research employing theoretical modelling, rigorous empirical identification, structural estimation, experiments, AI and machine learning methods, and innovative data sources that generate economically meaningful and preferably policy relevant insights.Submissions should demonstrate methodological rigor and a clear and original contribution to financial economics. Studies based on single country data are welcome when they provide insights that are broadly informative for financial markets, institutions, or policies beyond the specific institutional setting of a single jurisdiction. Purely descriptive analyses, narrowly institutional case studies without broader implications, and work outside the domain of finance are generally not considered.Editorial VisionThe Global Finance Journal is dedicated to being a premier outlet for research that deepens our collective understanding of financial markets and institutions within an increasingly integrated global economy. Today’s financial landscape is defined by the complex interplay of cross-border capital flows, rapid technological shifts, regulatory transitions, and shifting investor behaviour. Our mission is to publish rigorous research that illuminates these forces and explores their consequences for asset pricing, corporate finance, corporate governance, financial intermediation, and financial stability.We prioritize research that examines globally relevant financial mechanisms - whether through the lens of international datasets, comparative institutional analysis, or insights that extend beyond a single market. We welcome both theoretical and empirical contributions that leverage modern research methods, including structural modelling, experimental design, AI and machine learning, and the application of large-scale or alternative data sources.Above all, the journal serves as a vital bridge between academic inquiry and the practical realities of finance. By championing research that combines methodological rigor with real-world economic impact, the Global Finance Journal aims to advance the field of financial economics and to inform debates on financial policy, market design, and financial innovation.Equally central to the journal’s mission is a strong commitment to research integrity, transparency, and ethical scholarship. Submissions are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic conduct, including appropriate disclosure of data sources, transparent reporting of empirical methods, and full acknowledgement of prior work. Authors are encouraged, where feasible, to facilitate reproducibility and replicability through clear documentation of data construction, empirical procedures, and computational methods. The journal supports the broader movement in financial economics toward greater reproducibility, methodological transparency, and responsible use of data and research tools, including emerging computational techniques. Through these principles, the Global Finance Journal aims to promote research that is not only methodologically rigorous and intellectually innovative, but also transparent, credible, and valuable to the global finance research community.
