The AFE is an international journal with the goal of advancing
the knowledge and understanding of the practice of financial
economics through the publication of a high quality and practitioner-relevant
journal.
This journal offers a specialized forum for applied research
on investments in various financial markets, market microstructures,
asset pricing and regulation of financial markets.
Papers employing econometric or empirical methods in the research
design and focus on empirical testing of both financial theory
and applications in financial economics are encouraged. This
journal is not suitable for papers devoted solely to pure
theory or survey articles with inadequate econometric analysis.
The AFE serves as a bridge between academic research and practice
by seeking academically-rigorous papers that have direct relevance
to practitioners, a forum for presenting the perspectives
of practitioners, academics and regulators on financial economics
and its applications.
Initially AFE will be an annual publication with the first issue slated in 2005 and thereafter publish our second in 2006. AFE will be a semi-annual and quarter-annual publication in the future. AFE will start off as an e-journal.
