About
Journal
The Journal of
Financial Economics began a new section containing applied papers
and case studies in 1989. This section provides a high-quality professional
outlet for scholarly studies of actual cases, events or practice. Such
phenomena provide a rich source of data that illustrate or challenge accepted
theory and lead to new insights about the world. These studies currently have
few professional outlets, and with this section The Journal of Financial Economics
takes a leading role in encouraging such work. Applications and case study
papers are often different in form, scope and content and can be more
conjectural. The papers deal with issues that are often less quantifiable, more
descriptive and normative than usual. Papers that raise a new question or pose
an old one in an innovative way and papers that test theories in specialized
ways or document interesting phenomena which are likely to stimulate new
research are emphasized.

General
Guidelines for Authors
It is important that
the file be saved in the native format of the word processor used. The text
should be in single-column format. Keep the layout of the text as simple as
possible. Most formatting codes will be removed and replaced on processing the
article. In particular, do not use the word processor's options to justify text
or to hyphenate words. However, do use bold face, italics, subscripts,
superscripts etc. When preparing tables, if you are using a table grid, use
only one grid for each individual table and not a grid for each row. If no grid
is used, use tabs, not spaces, to align columns. The electronic text should be
prepared in a way very similar to that of conventional manuscripts.
