About Journal of Law, Finance and Accounting

The Journal of Law, Finance, and Accounting will offer an outlet for high quality empirical or theoretical scholarly work at the intersection of law, finance, and accounting. This intersection includes research having implications for the ways law and regulation affect the structure, governance, performance, and function of the firms, markets, and institutions that comprise the financial system as well as research that addresses the different ways capital is raised and the links between financial markets and the real economy. This interdisciplinary research area is sometimes called “law and finance,” although much important relevant work comes from scholars whose principal home may be in accounting, economics, or political science.
