Finance is the academic journal of the French Finance Association. Finance welcomes high quality research across all the fields of finance. The journal's scientific scope covers all aspects of finance: management, such as financial modeling or econometrics, national and international market finance, corporate finance and the finance of financial institutions. The articles sought have a strong scientific character: a model of the phenomenon studied or a theoretical analysis of the decision is therefore proposed, and the model is eventually subjected to the empirical tests most likely to invalidate it. In the case of a purely theoretical article, the model must be relevant, rigorous and original. In the case of a predominantly empirical article, statistical and/or econometric methods must be applied with rigor and relevance. Finance also accepts literature reviews, provided that the subject is dealt with in depth, that the presentation is extremely clear and that it constitutes a synthesis of different analyses whose usefulness is indisputable for a demanding reader.
Finance is referenced in various ranking/quality lists of academic journals such as ABDC Journal Quality List, AJG, CNRS, EconLit, FNEGE, HCERES, IBSS (ProQuest), JEL, RePEc, SCIMP, Scopus.
