JFQA Topic Selection (jfqa-topic-selection)

Use this skill to test whether a finance question belongs in the Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA) before you build the paper and pay the $350 submission fee (only $275 refundable if it is not sent to a reviewer).

What JFQA publishes

JFQA covers theoretical and empirical research in financial economics, with a quantitative core:

• Corporate finance — capital structure, payout, governance, M&A, investment.
• Investments / asset pricing — cross-section of returns, factors, anomalies, portfolio choice.
• Capital and security markets — market microstructure, liquidity, price discovery.
• Financial institutions — banks, intermediaries, regulation.
• Quantitative methods relevant to finance.

The name is load-bearing: the journal rewards quantitative analysis — disciplined data, models, and inference — over purely descriptive or institutional essays.
