Editorial Objective

Qualitative Research in Financial Markets provides an international, peer-reviewed forum to explore the burgeoning research activity in finance that uses qualitative methods. Building on a long pedigree of finance research, the journal will publish innovative analyses and novel insights into financial markets worldwide.

Coverage

In addition to peer-reviewed articles, the journal publishes in-depth case studies with real relevance to practice, along with extended book reviews. The Editor also explicitly encourages submission of methodological studies regarding the use of qualitative methods in finance research.

Empirical studies making use of interview, case study and survey methods to investigate the following (non-exhaustive) list of topics are welcomed (in all cases, evidence regarding investor, corporate and/or regulator views and experiences may be relevant):

  • Inconsistency in managerial and investor perceptions of market pricing mechanisms;
  • Evidence and opinions on bubbles, herding and speculative behaviour;
  • Managerial and investor views regarding stock market overreaction;
  • Investors' portfolio choices, including the incorporation of risk;
  • Managerial decision-making frameworks, including attitudes to risk;
  • The role of market timing in relation to major corporate news releases;
  • Principal-agent relationships in the modern global financial environment;
  • Responses to changes in corporate governance regulations and structures;
  • Over-commitment to real and financial investments;
  • Practitioner perspectives on external financing decisions;
  • Corporate communication and the transmission of price-sensitive information;
  • Divergence between theory and practice in the use of derivatives;
  • The implications of the recent trend for private equity and off-market financing;
  • The effect of the sub-prime lending crisis on financial market structure and regulation.

All Articles, case studies and book reviews can now be submitted via ScholarOne Manuscripts. For details on how to do this please see the author guidelines http://www.emeraldinsight.com/products/journals/author_guidelines.htm?id=qrfm

Benefits

  • QRFM is the first journal to be devoted exclusively to publication of studies in the rapidly-growing area of qualitative research in financial markets.
  • The journal will publish methodological analyses of the issues arising from the use of qualitative methods in financial markets research as well as empirical articles that employ the techniques to examine major concerns in modern finance.
  • It will explicitly explore links and relevance to practice.

Readership

It is intended that the focus on employment of qualitative analysis will render the journal more accessible to finance practitioners than many traditional quantitative-based finance publications.
