Editorial Policy

The EMFI WPS publishes high quality research ranging over all areas of  financial intermediation and financial markets, adopting diverse analytical approaches and  referring to a national or  international context.

Authors are required to state clearly the theoretical approach followed, and to argue explicitly for the relevance and the practical implications of the results obtained. Papers must comprise an empirical analysis section. All empirical methods – including , but not limited to, qualitative, quantitative, field, laboratory and combined methods – are welcome.

Papers lacking empirical analysis will be considered for review on condition that they seek to provide relevant  theoretical advancements.

Papers will be evaluated in terms of originality, relevance for practise and rigour in methodology.

Rejoinders on previously published research will be evaluated according to the above rules.

Papers submitted should not previously have been accepted or published in other journals or wp-series which use the double-blind peer review process. Draft papers will not be considered.

The Advisory Board and Editorial board are committed to a careful, supportive and rapid  double-blind peer  review process.
