This requires special analytical tools to determine the behaviour of financial variables in an environment which is subjected to policy shocks. The Journal of Emerging Market Finance is a forum for debate and discussion on the theory and practice of finance in emerging markets. While the emphasis is on articles that are of practical significance, the journal also covers theoretical and conceptual aspects relating to emerging financial markets. Peer-reviewed, the journal is equally useful to practitioners and to banking and investment companies as to scholars.

The Journal of Empirical Finance provides an international forum for empirical researchers in the intersection of the fields of econometrics and finance. The Journal welcomes high quality articles in empirical finance. Empirical finance encompasses the testing of well-established or new theories using financial data, the measurement of variables relevant in financial decision-making, the econometric analysis of financial market data or the development of new econometric methodology with finance applications. Submissions in any field of finance, corporate, international, asset pricing, market microstructure, etc. are welcome.Possible topics include but are not limited to:• Modelling and forecasting asset returns • Modelling, measuring and forecasting volatility and risk premia • The capital asset pricing model, multifactor models • Term structure of interest rate models • Empirical pricing models for options and other derivatives • Empirical studies in corporate finance • Exchange rate determination and other empirical studies in international finance • Microstructure of security markets • Modelling emerging markets • Evaluating the performance of portfolio management • Modelling high frequency data, transactions data, non-synchronous trading • Risk management and hedging • Empirical credit risk modellingEDITORIAL POLICYThe main features of the Journal of Empirical Finance are the following:High Quality Contributions and Double Blind Refereeing Process:This implies that articles accepted for publication in the journal will be in accord with high methodological standards involving the sophisticated use of economic reasoning, use of appropriate statistical techniques, and thorough analyses of data. Each paper will be reviewed by one associate editor and as a rule by (at least) two referees.Significant Results:The journal favors articles with empirical results that have important implications for the understanding of financial markets and institutions, asset pricing, forecasting and other financial decision problems.Intellectual Integrity:Originality and high standards of reporting results, data, and description of computer programmes will be strictly enforced.

The Journal of Environmental Economics and Management publishes theoretical and empirical papers devoted to specific natural resource and environmental issues. To warrant publication in JEEM papers should address new empirical findings that are of interest to a broader audience, theoretical analyses explaining new phenomena or puzzles, or development of theoretical or empirical methods likely being useful for further research.Topics of interest include but are not limited to:• Analysis of environmental policy • Further development of valuation techniques and novel applications of valuation techniques to new data sets • Study of environmental behavior and responses to regulation • Analyses of exhaustible, renewable and non-renewable, resources and resource policy, notably the economics of fisheries, forestry and fossil fuels • Analyses of the carbon cycle, accumulating pollutants, such as greenhouse gases • Environmental problems in developing countries, such as degradation of natural resources and health problems caused by pollution • Topics of energy economics related to the environment • Topics of agricultural economics related to the environmentWe also welcome interdisciplinary work as far as it addresses environmental or resource economic issues requiring expertise beyond economics. Since JEEM is an economics journal, we do not publish papers that just combine methods of different disciplines but do not address economic issues in the first place.We usually do not publish papers that replicate standard empirical findings, or apply standard empirical methods to new but similar data sets. We usually do not publish theoretical analyses that are merely minor extensions or variations of known models and results. We do not publish papers that only marginally touch upon natural resource and environmental economics issues.In our review process, we prescreen all papers and immediately reject some. This includes papers we do not consider a good fit in terms of topic or methodology. This also includes papers that fall short of our high scientific standards. We will not reconsider papers already rejected for publication by JEEM, unless the editor in his or her decision letter explicitly leaves open this possibility.
