Aims and Scopes:
The Journal of Behavioral Finance is intended to foster debate among groups that have keen insights into the behavioral patterns of markets but have not historically published in the more traditional financial and economic journals. Further, it is designed to stimulate new interdisciplinary research and theory that will build a body of knowledge about the psychological influences on market fluctuations. The most obvious benefit is a new understanding of markets that can greatly improve investment decision making. Another benefit is the opportunity for behavioral scientists to expand the scope of their students via the use of the enormous databases that document behavior in markets. Offering penetrating insights into the impact of psychological forces on economic performance, JBF is an indispensable resource for academics and practitioners.
Submissions:
Please follow these guidelines when preparing and submitting an article. Keep in mind you are writing for readers with a variety of backgrounds not necessarily the same as your own. Write to express, not impress, and write the way you talk. Keep it simple; brevity and conciseness are valued, but be sure to create interest. Colorful language and examples are encouraged. Equations and formulas are discouraged, except in appendixes.
